The barred is a girl.

I'm like 80% sure that's a girl.
The comb and pattern say it is a girl.

Do you have pics?
How old is it exactly?

It’s 2month old ish

If Odd says it's a girl...it's a girl.
I want to see those saddles before I confirm but I think you've got three OE girls.

Ok gonna fetch some pics! Be right back!

 

[TheFatBlueCat]

My crossbreed barred cockerals have female pattern barred rock feathering, I assume due to having only one barring gene and my rooster being of a strain to create exhibition females so he passes on very nice barring.

 

[Silkie Princess]

Ack. Inconclusive.
Any way you could get a pic of the comb close-up and the wing/back area in good light? Sorry to be a bother...this bird is that occasional one that truly stumps me.

It's ok. I'll get better ones

 

[MysteryChicken]

Okay here they come

Tip: Dig into the middle saddles. If a boy, pointy saddle pins should be visible.

Updates

Got any full-body pics of that maybe-cockerel who looks more like a definite cockerel now?

 

[Silkie Princess]

Or I could use my OE cockerel and Silkie hens Here is the cockerel and a pullet



also the colours are totally unpredictable with these birds The seller that hatched these had a gray rooster and red hens. I got a gray pullet, splash pullet and barred rooster
