A little help

[fwyatt]

This is my Henrietta or Henry. Was thinking Henry, now at 7 weeks not sure. Looking at photos of barred rocks if too should have larger comb and waddles and should be redder I think. This is my free mystery chick from hatchery. Thinking barred rock but keep going back and forth hen/roo, and barred rock/Cuckoo Marans. Just not sure. Any advice?? My first time with chicks and loving every minute!

Do you have any other photos? 7 weeks seems a bit early to me for red in the face, possibly cockerel

The light coloring makes me think Barred Rock rooster, but I've never had Cuckoo Marans before, so this isn't my area of expertise.

Cockerel with a comb that big and red at seven weeks, as well as his light barring. He has yellow legs so barred rock not cuckoo marans.

It's a cockerel.

Male Barred Rock. Barred male birds get 2 copies of barred gene. So, they have wider white bars, making them look “lighter”. Your chick has very wide bars. In addition his comb appears to be wide and more developed than a females would be at this age.

Legs are grey/purple

Legs are grey/purple

Do they look closer to pink/white? Or yellow? Cuckoo marans have pink/white legs and barred rocks have yellow.

Then I have no idea. The color on feet and legs have me baffled. Kinda hoping for a male so could have chicks with the red stars.
