9 week old Barred Rock

[Ckrawczyk949]

Hi all! I’m a new member to BYC even though I have been on here many times looking for other users options to answer my questions.

I have a 9 week old Barred Rock chicken we got from our local feed store (we got 7 total chicks but only one of this breed) I am not sure if this is a male or female. It seems very stand off-ish and always bold with the others. Anyone have an opinion

Pullet! Dark barring and small waddles and comb

I would say pullet

Thank you both! We aren’t allowed roosters where I live and it would devastate my kids to have to give any of our “ladies” a new home.

Pullet. BR hens are notorious for being a bit bossy so that's not too surprising.

Wow! Good to know! She definitely stands her ground with our older ladies too!
