Barred Rock Pullet or Roo?

[Tookie]

Pretty sure you have a pullet!

Pullet, she's just lighter.

Oh yay! When we first got the chicks I thought she would be the rooster if we had one as she chirped louder and then as her comb was on the larger side and then her coloring seemed lighter I thought “gotta be a rooster!” But her mannerisms and feathers and build were suggesting otherwise!

Common for Barred Rock pullets to occasionally get larger combs early. Usually they're not red, just large.

By three weeks, I was so sure my BR was a cockerel due to the size of her comb. Two years later, she still lays plenty of eggs and guards my all-girl flock.

Yours is a little redder in the waddles than mine, but I'd second/third that they're a pullet. Fingers crossed!

Full body pics!

I got 7 chicks originally and have two others roosters 100% but this one still has me puzzled. It doesn’t have the thick feathers as my other two roosters and I never see it competing with the other two either But wasn’t sure if BR were just different.

looks like a rooster

Nope.

My first thought was pullet. Although there’s a bit more white it’s still “dark,” the comb is a tad redder but still small comparatively. I could be wrong though. (I just went back and looked at pics from when our BRs were around that age-we had 1 male 1 female)
