I’ve got 6 barred rocks just past 12 weeks. One is very clearly and obviously a roo. 4 of them have small combs and waddles with no pink showing, so assume pullets. But then there’s one with larger waddles and more pink, but nothing like the young rooster. Its coloring and legs are the same as the pullets. (The last pic is the same age roo for comparison. Pics with two have the questionable chick with a pullet.) What are the thoughts of this who know more than me? 😃

That’s great, thanks! This is my first time and I’ve been thinking no pink in the comb or waddles until laying time. But I suppose for the BRs, that’s getting closer now that so many weeks have passed.

Barred Rocks can lay eggs as early as 18 weeks sometimes.
