Got this chick at the local feed store last weekend. Suppose to be a pullet, but the legs are very light colored and the spot on the head looks more like a splotch. Is this a cockerel?
My guess is a cockerel, for the same reasons you mentioned. But I could be wrong! I'm assuming this is a Barred Rock? It'll be easier to tell in a couple of weeks, the males have more white on them.
