We have 2 barred rock chicks that are 4 weeks old. They look completely opposite.

The first two are a couple (unfortunately) blurry photos of our suspected roo.

These two photos are of our other, more dull barred rock.

This last photo is one more of our suspected roo. What does everyone think?
 
I think you might be right, it does look like a possible cockerel. Will you be able to keep it? :fl
We're really hoping so! We're not in a place where neighbors are an issue, but my FIL hates roosters🤣😅
Oddly enough, the suspected rooster is the ONLY chick, out of all the chicks we've gotten, that they offered to let him pick out. Not sure if he picked the only rooster in the bin or if we just got a she that looks like a he😅
Either way, im pretty excited. I've always loved roosters and im really hoping we got to sneak one in😂
Another odd thing is that when we had 2 silkie chicks (suspected to be roosters because of the way they were growing) in our brooder and brought the barred rocks home, the lighter BR was "attacked" by the silkies within the first hour of bringing them home. Since rehoming the silkies, we've had a more calm and docile flock. Im thinking they knew before we did!😆
