Barred rock roo?

[Cara83]

This chick is 3 times the size of my day olds and the only one left from the original 6 I got a few weeks back. I thought it was a pullet now I'm not sure and I'm getting a few more day olds tomorrow and would rather find it a home now, as mentioned before I can't have roosters here.

Looks like a cockerel, but I would wait a bit to make sure.

Looks like a cockerel but my marans grew a huge comb at 6 weeks and is a pullet! There is no way to be sure for now, though.

My Marans, Meredith, at almost 6 weeks.

A large dot on the head as a chick with BR can mean it is a rooster. If your bird is hatchery quality this trait isn't so reliable.

Cuckoo Marans, and it's too early to be sure on sex. Post updated pics at 6 weeks.

I would wait but it's so much bigger than the other chicks and I worry about that.

What breed are your other chicks?

I can't wait another 3 weeks, it's 3 times the size of my day olds and bantams in the brooder box

That's because those are bantams and are only a day old.

This chick is older and not a bantam. That's why it's bigger.
