Barred rock chick.

I didn’t know that barred rock was an auto sexing breed. Anyone have a guess? Thank you!

With the straight pattern lines it looks like, a cockerel

I was gonna say pullet, but those white bars are pretty bright and distinct for a pullet...

Oh no i will cry. The last barred rock we got was a rooster and we had to get rid of him

Well to me the uneven feathering and small comb look like a pullet, but it does seem like a pretty light chick to be female once I look at the comparison photos between the two genders of BR chicks.

Still crossing my fingers this one did have super long feathers at a day old.

Ok so still super early but i have 2 Rhode Island Red chicks and their patterning is quite different. Is this an indicator that one is a hen and one a roo?

One of those is not a rir, could be a speckled Sussex?

Really?!!! I got the eggs from a hatchery and they egg was even labeled Rhode Island Red which is what i ordered

Rhode Island reds should not show that white leakage, you will have to wait and see what she grows up to be
