That's what I was seeing too, but I have really bad eyes and barred patterns mess with them.

You're too sweet, but I've been wrong on occasion. Not on this one, though. I'm 100% sure that's a rooster.

OT - Well now the secret is out on why I can never own barred chickens. The barred pattern really does mess with my eyes. I suffered seizures as a child. I think that's why.
For the OP's sake I was hoping it was just my eyes.
