Barred Rock Hen or Rooster?

[peekapig]

I am having the hardest time with my sons barred rock. I cant figure out if it is a hen or rooster. It was born May 3rd so is now 3 months old. The comb and wattles are fairly big. It has not crowed at all. It has started getting an attitude and biting. I go back and forth on what it is. Any help is greatly appreciated!

That is a cockerel. Here's trio. A cockerel and two pullets. Pretty easy to tell them apart.

yup. very obvious. We only had one barred rock. the rest of my flock is silkies, polish, a swedish flower, and new hampshires.

Oh boy! That's a handsome young rooster. Some birds don't crow until 6ish months, but from the looks of him it may not be long.

If it is a rooster you should see spurs starting to appear soon
