Any thoughts on age? What about gender? My barred rock seems a bit older. They were both straight run but I read up on traits to visually sex a barred rock and tried to go with a less “flashy” EE. I know it’s still early but hoping for some guesses. I can’t have another cockerel.

Age is around 2 1/2- 3 weeks would be my guess. They could still be the same age, some breeds just feather out faster than others. It’s too early to sex but I’m going to guess that the barred rock is a pullet because of how dark it is so far. Update in another 3-4 weeks for a more accurate guess

I did quite a bit of research on anecdotal ways to sex them. Leg color, stripe color, head dot, etc. I didn’t think they were that old 🤷‍♀️
