Barred Plymouth Rock male or female?

[floridasummer]

This is Pretty (maybe Pretty Boy lol) s/he is a couple days shy of 5 weeks old and is starting not to look like the other barred rock I got in the same order. So I'm suspecting a boy? I tried to get some varying pics but they weren't being too cooperative. Thanks for any help.

Do you have a comparison photo with both of them? I'm curious to see what the differences are.

I tried to get good pics but it's hard since they move around so much. In the face pics where I'm holding them the chick in question has black on the beak. It's the smaller one of the two and doesn't have good tail feathers yet but the other does. I just wanted to add also the bigger one who is definitely a pullet is more spotted looking while the other is more striped looking

I am not sure why the one is so much smaller, but I am quite sure they are the same gender as each other, most likely female. Growing tail feathers at different ages is just something that happens sometimes.

The spotted or striped appearance is just individual variation. I think it depends on whether the white stripes of one feather line up with the stripes on the next feather (looks striped) or not (looks spotted.)

Okay thank you! They're both very friendly, wish I had got more barred rocks!

Both look like pullets!
