Barred Rock,, Hen or Roo?

[tennesseechickie]

Hoping so badly its a hen. Its my only barred rock. And oh my, she(or he) is a bossy one. Wont let some of the later added chicks to the food until she and the other "original" chicks are all finished. Chases the roos and hens around sometimes too! Think if its a she, gonna name her Miss Priss. If its a roo, well, probably be in the freezer soon, lol! I think shes 10 weeks old.

Yep, too much white on it's feathers to be a girl. Looks like a roo.

Girls don't get that much comb/waddle development by 10 weeks. Here are some pictures of what a girl would look like close to that age.

Awww, ok thanks everyone! I had my doubts cause he isnt crowing yet. Anyhow, I may still keep him, I got attached when he was little!
