YOTR, not wrong...just...misguided!

In birds that I can't tell, I will go ahead and vent sex.

If the sex organs were that easily hid, AI would be very difficult to do successfully. When the birds are...um...aroused, the sex organs are very easy to see.

If your barred rock is pure bred theni would say hen because of its darker color.

Bock, your bird looks very different from my BR cockerels. They're 13w3d old, much lighter colored than yours, and have obvious pointed saddle feathers and sickle feathers growing in their tails.
Here's pics of one, just a few minutes ago. Hope this helps!

I'll tell you how I know BR roos are Light colored as the pic jossanne posted of her young roo. She is dark her tail is not pointed up like a roos and she looks like a girl.
