Barred rock- hen or roo?

[lsmith]

Is this one a hen? Or a roo? Thanks! She's really not black but grey so I've been wondering but the feathers on the wings look like a hens....I think :/

Looks like a little pullet

How old is it? I'm thinking roo due to the barring being so contrasting, but I could totally be wrong.

A few more pics.

She's between 2-3 weeks. The store said they were a week when I bought them but they were already feathering a little bit. I've had them a little over a week now.

It's too early to tell. You'll probably have to wait a few more weeks. If you have other chicks of the same age, the males will be the ones whose combs develop the soonest.

I'm still going with pullet as the spot on head usually indicates pullet

it's not very accurate in hatchery chicks.

That's exactly what I have been reading and why I wondered. Thanks subhanalah!
