Barred plymouth rock?? Question from a newbie :)

No form of sexing is ever 100% accurate, but this method has been used for years and has worked for a lot of people.

True, but not all chicks are created equal. I've followed this sexing method before, & female Plymouth Barred Rock headspots vary in size, sometimes body color follows. So leg color also will help with sexing if you run into a tricky few.

Hi all! Thank you so much. Their legs are pretty light...

Yep, they're definitely males with the leg colors.

They both look like males.

Not to muddy the waters intentionally, but I had a pullet with lighter legs. She did, however, have the defined head spot. I thought for sure she was a he - she even acted like a roo and had a fast growing comb. Maybe it's because she was a hatchery bird?

She's a terrific chicken, though! Friendly, smart, and definitely top of the pecking order...

That's exactly what I mean by no chick is created equal. I guess she'll have to watch her chicks closely as they grow.
Here's my Heritage Plymouth Barred Rock pullet.

She's purebred. I'm gonna be receiving replacements for the ones that died a day after arrival, they died the day after April 1st.
My replacements won't be ready until September though.
