Barred Rock ~5 weeks old - male or female?

[lafinestra66]

Hi, everyone! Chicken newbie, here. Is Henrietta/Henry (?) a male or female? I purchased her from a local feed store sexed as a female Barred Plymouth Rock, hatchery stock. I believe she is around 4/5 weeks old. She is the only Barred Rock in my chicken crew, so I don't have a sibling to compare her to. I am also beginning to wonder if she is indeed a pure bred Barred Rock. Any ideas?

She looks a lot like my barred rock pullets (6 weeks in this pic).

It does not look like a pure barred rock. I'm thinking it is a black sex link cockerel.

Thank you! Do you have any pics of what Black Sex Links are supposed to look like around this age?

Thanks for the pic! If you have any more around this age, I would love to see them!

Hmmm, hard for me to say because I don't have any knowledge of that breed. Beautiful, though! How old is he/she?

Just from that one photo, the body and head shape do not look like an Ameracauna, but I am no expert. Could be a mix or a different breed altogether?
