Hatcheries are really messing up the breeds, wish true breeders would take over.

I'm having the same question! If I have a Roo, I have to rehome him right away because my city doesn't allow them and I'm just on the county/city line. They are somewhat lenient on my street because we have more space between the houses and we have about 1.5 acres. I have more than allowed on one acre/ 6 are allowed on land less than one acre within city limits and I have 4 adults and 7 babies which will make 11 once they are grown, but like I said, I have about 1.5 acres, so I'm not really worried about that part. However, since I'm 'technically' in the city separated by the street I live on, I wouldn't want to push them by having a rooster.

Characteristics I'm noticing:
legs are twice as thick as all the others (of all 3 breeds I have)
Weird behavior = squatting then running all fluffed out, head butting, chest bumping
looks more striped
body is 'fatter'
they are 6 weeks old
for the first 4 weeks I just thought this particular bird was kind of lopsided as it would fall over a lot like it was top heavy and it acted weird, but I really just thought it was a weird bird... now I'm not so sure.

*In the first picture, the one in question is on top. I know the 2 closer to me are Pullets for SURE.
*2nd picture, best I could get of the side. This bird likes to squat down and jump and run a LOT
*3rd picture - the one in the middle - notice my sweet buff Georgia poking her head up wondering what I'm doing. <3
*4th picture, looking directly at the camera I notice a slight pinking of the comb, but they are only 6 weeks old

any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

thank you in advance

Look like all pullets to me. yellow comb, black wash over the legs, and she's got an awful lot of black on her feathers to be a cockerel.

so, just a really weird chicken like I thought at first? lol
I'll keep an eye on her and make sure my Joyce doesn't turn into a Joe.

At 6 weeks a cockerel would have more comb and wattles development as well as more color.
Pullet.

Thanks! I really appreciate everybody's opinions on this. It was kind of freaking me out because she is the nicest Barred Rock I have.
