Back to chickens...

[JodyJo]

I have been a member of BYC for a few years, used it heavily when I first started out as a newbee chicken owner...had to move, gave away all my chickens, came back, so today I just got 12 new chicks with 6 more to get on Friday. The 12 today, a mixed bag of breeds...straight run, I tried my hand at wing sexing...we'll see how good I did! Friday I will pick up 6 Silver Laced Wyandottes...very excited, haven't had those before!

My question....remind me again on how to determine a barred rock sex by the spot on the head?

Small spot = female. Large spot = male and also their leg colors are different but don't ask me about that! Welcome back to chickenville!

If the chick is blind it will usually have some kind of power to make up for it like mine can burn peoples souls and send them to oblivion.

With the Best Regards, if the white spot is more circular and tight it's a hen. If it's spread more throughout the head it's a roo. Also hen BRs are black with grey stripes, and Roos are more greyish all together
