Barred Rock gender

[bwestbrook]

I'm completely new to chickens and just curious if we have any cockerels. My daughter got these through 4H from Cackle Hatchery. In two days, they will be 9 weeks old.
This is probably the one I question most. It has the most red.
Any input would be appreciated. Sorry they don't have tail feathers right now. I'm working on that.

Looks like a pullet to me! @Overo Mare might be able to help though!

I figure they all are, but I have read everyone's tips on sexing them and I still have no clue. Lol

Pullet for sure!

Female barred rocks have dark barring like yours and a small pale comb.

Yeah most of them are smaller and more pale than this one. Their color is mostly the same. Some seem to be a little lighter, but definitely not as light as some of the pictures that I've seen of cockerels.

Not very clear, but most of the others still look like this. So that is what made me curious.

Of course I think we got a few Dominique's mixed in.

Hi, very pretty birds. I'm still a bit confused about the differences between BR and Doms, do you mind telling me what you're seeing that says Doms to you? The birds in your pics all seem to have single combs, a BR characteristic. Unless I'm missing something?

Dominiques have rose combs.

These are their doms.

Sometimes (with poor quality birds) the light and dark barring wont show as much, but with your birds the barring is really nice and dark. So they do express that specufic trait.
