Barred Rock-Pullet or Cockerel? Help please

[Coop6]

New chicken mommy and my fingers are crossed they are both pullets. They are both about 2 1/2 weeks old (not sure if its too soon to tell). Any ideas?

Both look like pullets by coloring. Males feather in with more white.

At 5-6 weeks you should be able to tell with confidence. You can search pics of Barred rocks and get a very good idea by 5/6 weeks old.

Thank goodness! I'm having so much fun with them and getting quite attached. They have 2 RIR sisters also. Couldn't imagine parting with them! Thanks!!

The "waiting game" is so hard! Thanks for your help!

Here are updated pics of my BR taken today at 7 1/2 weeks. One them I know without a doubt is a pullet, but this one has the same feather coloring but comb and wattles are just a little bit more pronounced and pinkish colored. Do you still think pullet?

Yep, I do believe those are both females.

Thanks donrae.

I'm glad that your patience produced some nice pullets.

Well that had little to do with it but hens still are better in the end. Happy for you.
