Barred Rock male or female?
This is the only barred rock I have so no one to compare to. S(he)’s the most “aggressive” towards all the other chicks (and me) and notices everything. Also is the cuddliest which is interesting. Her/his comb is def the most prominent of all my chicks.
A few Photos in general age order. They are ~6 weeks old now. Thanks for your help!

That's a pullet. Male barred rocks have double barring genes, so they have more white barring than the black part of feather color; female barred rocks have single barring genes, so they have more black than white. Sometimes, a barred rock with equaling amount of black and white color could be very confusing. But yours is clearly a female.
