This is Bizzy - one of our babies that hatched the last week of September. Mama is a BR, Daddy is likely our SLW alpha roo, but we do also have a RIR roo. I apologize for the poor photo quality, but s/he is - as the name suggests- very busy and hard to photograph. My money is on cockerel.

We were at about 95%.
Seems like I read somewhere that BR hens and SLW roos produce sex linked chicks. He has a sister who was solid black and very obviously a pullet, but she was a dog attack victim.
That is true. With that cross any with barring are male. Though I wouldn’t rely on it due to you having a barred male running around.
