unfortunetly your hens head is turned and i can not tell the comb or waddle any other pics?

 

[rodriguezpoultry]

Yes, here are some others. Notice her comb is completely lacking any pigment in the original photo?

Remember, these birds are 4 months old. Not the same age as yours.

so is the one on the left the roo and the one on the right the hen?

 

[rodriguezpoultry]

Yes...the one on the left is a cockerel and the one to the right is a pullet. The black one is also a pullet but ignore her...she has "issues".

Rodriguezpoultry has beautiful barred rocks! Mine are from a local feed store which gets their chicks from a hatchery. We can't have roosters here, which means no breeding. Since we only have chickens for pets & eggs, hatchery quality works fine for our family.

Here's a picture of one of my barred rock pullets I took this morning(14 1/2 weeks):

All chickens grow differently but I'm guesing Arizona's and Rod's barred rocks are different ages. Now that I have seen a full body shot of it I am 100% positive that it is a ROO.
