BSL Cockrel or BPR Cockrel?

[KikiLeigh02]

Sounds way more interesting than the soap operas my grandma used to make me watch. Could just be a dominance thing rather than mating, some pullets do mount. I've only seen them try on another pullet not a male though. Hopefully someone will answer, I'm curious now.

I'm confused myself

I'll keep post up to date over next few weeks.
Guess we'll all find out together.

@sourland knows chicken behavior!

"Cecilia" mounted our RIRroo, Phillip this evening...
Is that cockeral action, or would a pullet try that as well?
Phillip threw C off and started chasing Reese, Phillip's favorite pullet.
Phillip is usually mean to "Cecilia" and bullies her/him a lot.
Oh my gosh, this bird is a riot!!!

Behavior says cockerel, but feathering, if indeed the bird is 14 weeks old, says pullet. The jury is hung on this bird. Time will tell the tale.

Glad to not be alone inMmy confusion.

I'm curious, how old is your male RIR?

Today "CC" refused to come into the coop while the other hens were out.
I had to pick sevesse up and place them in the coop.
While out two of our cats came up to watch and "CC" ran them off.
When I picked "CC" up after getting hens in coop I got the 'mane ruffle' big time and 'head-down-sideways glare'. I could've sworn that bird growled at me as well.
So, I'm thinking young cockeral even more.

I’m leaning towards cockerel.

I'm seriously thinking Cockrel as well, simply because our Rooster hates it with a passion. The Roo tolerates the other BPRs, but singles this one out.
Maybe it's a BSL?
So confused...I know time will tell, but I'm starting to dream about this bird! Lol

This bird is a 100% pullet. She does not have the male type DF Barring. There is nothing at all that says cockerel to me, and I have been raising this breed since I first got chickens

Here are Barred Rock Pullets:

Here is a Barred Rock Cockerel, notice the color difference:
