Barred Rock rooster or hen

[redjeepxj]

Is this barred rock a rooster or hen? Maybe 20-23 weeks old, have not heard any crowing.

 

[Chick Charm]

It appears to be a hen. However, do you have a better picture?

 

[redjeepxj]

This better?

I would say hen.

Looks like a hen that is laying to me. Are you sure she's not hiding eggs somewhere?

 

[redjeepxj]

No eggs yet. They are supervised when out of the coop/run. Based on their age I would expect eggs anytime now.

 

[redjeepxj]

Still thinking a hen? Heard a muffled crow the other day.

 

[Tricoglossus]

That's a rooster, I can see sickle feathers in the tail.

 

[Fred's Hens]

It's not a Barred Rock.
