Good afternoon everyone, I have a barred rock chick, and I've been waiting for (her 🤞) to get a little older to identify gender.
It's still maybe too soon, but I just wanted anyones thoughts. Thank you!
 
This is my chick, any gender guesses?

Alright, I'm kinda assuming the same thing right now too, but for sure a barred rock, I got it from a well sort out hatchery.
 
It may just be the lighting, but the legs appear to be pinkish white with a darker wash over them. I see no yellow, but again, it could just be the photo. It's important because barred rocks have yellow legs and cuckoo Marans have the white/pink legs. Mix ups can and do happen.

In any case, like the others I'm thinking it's a cockerel, going by comb and color pattern. But it's worth waiting another few weeks just to be sure.

Ok, thank you, and he's her legs are a dark color almost grey, but I'll wait a few more weeks to make sure.
 
How old is she? I'm going with pullet based on the dark wash on the legs and the darker feather pattern. Do you have any other pics of her?
