This is my barred rock chick. She is currently almost 6 weeks old. Here's a picture of her. I think she might be a he because she has very visible wattles and a red comb. However her comb isn't nearly as big as a cockerel's should be. The first pic is at almost 6 weeks, and the last one is at 5 weeks old.

No picture. I think barred rocks can be sexed by the amount of barring. If you only have one, or one gender it can be harder to determine.
 
Oh thank God!!! I have 2 cockerels already, it would be horrible to have to re-home 2 of them ... I can only keep one.
