Barred rock roos or hens

[mclautenbach]

Hi all! I just got these 9 week old barred rocks to add to my flock, sorry the photos aren’t the best because I’m trying to keep them seperate right now.

should I hope for both of these to be pullets? It might be worth nothing that the one with the larger comb also has a slight cross beak.

First of all, welcome to BYC!

Secondly, they’re all looking like pullets except maybe the one on the left of the bottom pic. They’re still too young to say for sure, though. Beautiful birds!

Both look like pretty pullets to me.

Just realized it’s only two birds - don’t see anything that looks roosterish in the other pics, so maybe it’s the angle

They are from cackle hatchery so fingers crossed they are pure BRs

Cackle should be very reliable at sexing barred chicks. It’s pretty easy at day old once you’ve seen enough.
