Barred rock too or pullet?

[Kunjoos]

We bought some young chickens yesterday and told they were all female. But this one stands taller than the rest and has redder combs so think its a roo. We just exchanged our accidental rooster for a hen and bought some extra ones. Please help

I’m going boy based on the comb/wattles and legs. Just a guess though.

How old are they? That is a cuckoo marans.

How old are they? That is a dominique.

ok you gotta teach me— the Dominique has a scrambled-egg looking comb (yes that’s how vast my ignorance is!) and the barred rock has a straight comb, right?

Oh, whoops! I got mixed up! I meant to say cuckoo marans. Barred rocks have single combs and yellow legs. Dominiques have the scrambled egg combs, which are called rose combs, and yellow legs. Cuckoo marans have single combs and pink legs.

Do you know the age? That doesn't look like a pure BR.

 

[Painted Calls]

Age?

Marans cockerel.

Dominique has the rose comb, BR has a straight comb.

Marans cockerel.

Ah, I didn't think Marans!
