Barred Rock Pullets?!?

[Wishing4Wings]

I'm not an expert either.

But, they both look like pullets to me based on the dark coloring. Do you have close ups of their heads? If everything looks about the same, size of wattles, size of comb, dark wash on legs, dark overall color, then I think you have pullets. If the one with a pinker comb also has a much larger comb, then you may have a roo.

Look at the first page of this thread to compare.

The first pic in post #1 shows a BR cockerel. Post #5 and #10 also show cockerels. (There are others on the page, but these are easy to view.)

Now that I've seen the photos, I am even less sure!

# 1 BR pullet or roo? That's a lot of white and a prominent comb, so looks more like a roo.



# 2 BR pullet or roo? This one looks darker, but it's probably the lighting.

# 2 on left I don't really see a whole lot of difference here.

Cute chicks, but it will probably be a couple more weeks before you will know for sure.
Wyandottes are hard to sex until they feather; males are a different color.
For EEs, a male will pink up sooner and will quite often develop rusty red patches of color on the wings.


supposed BR roo? As chicks, BR males are supposed to have a more diffuse, spread out spot on the head. Females generally have a smaller spot with well defined edges. Hard to tell when you don't have a comparison.

my baby my black sex link hen...this one i know for sure lol... Well I sure hope so!!!

Unless it's the wrong breed!

maybe all the others be roos but i know this one is gonna be a hen!!!!!

Hopefully you will get some better opinions. Wish I could be more help, but think you will have to wait a bit. Hope you post to let us know how it turned out.

Also, you might get a few more responses if you start your own thread rather than adding on to an older one. Sometimes folks look through the new posts. This came up for me because I was subscribed to the original post.
