Barred Rock. Roo/Pullet?

[mother o' chicks72]

This is Periwinkle my barred rock. Is she a Pullet, or a Roo? 5.5-6 weeks old

I am not an expert, but I would guess pullet. It looks darker (at least in the pictures) and from what I read the roos are lighter, have more white, (I only have br pullets and she looks like my girls)

Here was Penny and Pepper at 6 weeks (they both died in a predator attack, Penny was the best chicken!)

Dark wash on the legs, feathering and coloring looks just like my first BR did at that age. BR hens will get rather large and bright red combs. Wattles, too. Don't let them fool you. I vote girl!

Mine are just three weeks and they are starting to get some combs and wattles.
