Barred rock chicks

[Piper25]

Just a baby but is there a way to tell a male from female barred rock. This one has dark legs but quite a big mark on head. Only one barred rock in last picture. Do the females have no head markings or doesn’t that mean anything?

Barred Rocks of both genders have a headspot. It's related to the barring gene.

The Dark legs would mean Female.

Unless it's actually a Black Sexlink, the headspot would mean Male, & the dark wash on the legs wouldn't mean anything.
