Can you help ID my 6 wk old barred rock?

[sleahy91]

Hi guys, first time post, but I've been on the site for a few weeks now. I have a small flock of 5 chooks, 1 EE, 1 Buff Orp, 1 Barred Rock, and 2 SLW. Can any of you all help ID the BR? I dont have any other to compare it to. It is a sweet little bird, and thankfully I live in the country, so I can have a rooster. I just dont want more than one...I also have my doubts about my SLWs.

Looks like a pullet

6 weeks is still young. I’d say pullet. But it’s hard to be sure. 10-12 weeks is when you can start getting a better idea Beautiful birds you have either way!

And welcome to BYC

It's much too young to tell for sure, but I'm leaning towards pullet. Welcome to BYC!

i don't know... the colouring looks more like a cockerel, (pic below) but the comb is not big or red enough to be a definite cockerel this is mine below at abt 7 weeks. pullets usually have a much darker pattern, mor black than white. but again, 6 weeks is a bit young. I'm leaning towards pullet because of the comb size and colour.

Barring looks to be male but I'm not completely convinced yet. I'm sure it'll be easy to tell here soon enough though
