8 week old Barred Rock Hen? Or Rooster?

[jwalker1981]

Hey guys I've recently got into having a small backyard flock consisting of 6 chickens 5 of which I'm sure are hens, unsure about my Barred Rock.... I live in an urban environment so a crowing rooster wouldn't be good, however I'd like to keep all of them if possible I was thinking if it is a rooster maybe trying a crowing collar and see if that works.....

Given the size and redness of its comb and wattles at only 8 weeks and the lightness of its barring, you have a cockerel.

Its a cockerel given the red comb and barred coloring.
