Is it just me, or is shelby not very "barred" at all?

Charlie looks like a roo but I've been wrong before! I had a light brahma I called big mama until I realized he was a big daddy!!!1

Yeah, Shelby is more flecked and Charlie is more striped. And Charlie doesn't have much of a tail yet.

Our barred rocks are the friendliest chicks too!

They both look girly to me, but its a little early to tell.

Mixed signals on them, with pretty big legs, tho they have black wash down the front.

The combs arent pink, but it could be early...

I can't really tell with the lighting but I belive that you have the names backwards Charlie should be Shelby and Shelby should be Charlie but again it could just be the lighting, The lighter (white with black edges) one's are almost always a roo (or so I am told) and darker black one's (black with white edges) are always the hen. This is my first batch of PBR's so I am waiting to find out....

The rule I have works everytime if it crows or lays I will know for sure what sex it is.
