Barred Rock Roo or Hen?

[Cdr621]

This is our 12 week old barred rock Pica. We purchased her from a hatchery where she was sexed as a pullet. She has proven to be leader of the flock and looks so much more mature than her "sister". She has recently started making a "bakaw" sound usually as she is let out into the run or senses danger. Please help!

He looks like a Pico to me and I think he's very handsome.

The comparison.

Pica is a boy. He is much lighter than his penmates. Note the yellow legs vs the black fronts on the hen you posted.

Confirmed hen so we still have hope! Will update in a few weeks.
