Barred Rock chick - boy or girl?

They're not the most common of birds...but that's what sprung to mind when I saw the pics. There are others who have much more experience and would have a better idea once yours is full grown.:thumbsup
 
Thank you! She's a tough girl. I killed the hatch with low incubating temps. She's the only one who made it out of 30 eggs. I'm new to barred rocks. I have a barred rock rooster...I'm glad he'll have female...lol.

I thought I had a barred rock rooster two years ago, but I believe he's a cuckoo maran.View attachment 1027433
Here's a pic of the two roosters. The Marans is not likely a purebred or correct in color etc...but he has the light/white legs with black spots. The Barred Rock has yellow.

Your girl's color and pattern makes my think Egyptian Fayomi or Campine maybe?
The one on the left is not a BR you say? Love your cute little BR pullet!

Thank you. She's surprisingly sweet. I've stayed away from barred rocks from what I've read...lol.

I'm not certain either rooster is purebred. The Barred rock is on the left..he may be. I don't think the Marans is pure with his zig zag pattern. But he sports a more Cuckoo Marans leg. If I understand it correctly...lol.
 
My SWEET BR Tina cuddling with her new mom. Your BR Roo looks pure to me. Did his comb get dubbed from the cold?
