Barnevelder, Hen or Roo?

[kimberlyann]

These are my only 2 Barnevelders. They have been slow to develop and I thought I thought I had 2 hens. In the pic of two, I am questioning the one on the right. As of last night I think I have a hen and a roo! Please take a look and let me know. Thank you!

Rather difficult to tell from those pictures. The comb isn't looking large, but it does look like it has color. If you know the age, that would help. And a clearer picture of the head/comb/wattles plus a clear shot of the back area might help, too.

Unsure but looks like a roo to me. Thicker through the neck and chest, bigger thicker legs and reddening comb and wattles. But, again, unsure! Try taking some more pics as the above poster recommended.

I'm thinking you've got a cockerel on your hands, from what I can see. Unable to spot any clear lacing, either.

I feel silly - he is SO CLEARLY a roo.. lol..
but honestly two days ago I could not tell!
And I think the penciling is faint but developing.
Thank you for your kind replies..

I am not familiar with how this breed should look at this age but I am very interested in them. I have 7 double blue laced barnies in the incubator right now and I can't wait to see how they turn out. I LOVE the lacing on these birds, just had to have a few of my own.
I think your pullet and your cockerel are going to be beautiful!

Thank you! Good luck on your hatch and please show us your chicks!
