Barred rock chicken

Can someone please tell me if this is a rooster or Hen? Thank you.

Welcome to BYC!
Looks like a Hen!
How old is she?

 

[KrissyCar]

Thank you. She is 22 weeks and starting to get aggressive towards my little dogs. I thought she may be a Rooster but I’m a first time chicken owner so it’s all new to me.

Well then she is considered a pullet, they are called pullets when they are younger than 1 year old, after a year they are considered hens.
She will be laying eggs anytime!

Pullet. Female chicken can be aggressive, too. I would keep her away from your dogs, if possible.

My hens have my czechoslovakian wolfdog terrorized. He learned the hard way not to get close to them and with humans they are the sweetest hens, they just like to peck and run after the dog.

I agree, pullet! I’ve had some feisty hens before.
