OK. Need some help here. I've posted both on the Barred Rock thread and the raising baby chicks thread and get mixed opinions.
This is my 4 week old Barred Rock. She was sexed by Meyers as a pullet but we'll see. Up until 4 weeks all signs pointed to pullet (dark wash on legs, early tail feathers, pretty solid dot on her head as a tiny chick, currently pretty dark feathering). But at 4 weeks I noticed her little comb had pinked up just a tad. It didn't stay that way. Seems to come and go. And she has little waddles sprouting. I did compare to my Golden Sex Link of same age and it doesn't look any different.
Here she is at 3 weeks
And here she is at 4 weeks
Any thoughts? I had heard barred rocks were pretty easy to sex at this age but....
Thanks!
