Ok, female rocks are black with white barring. Male rocks are white with black barring. I'll show you.

Male top, female bottom.

That's awesome thank you! How's your sexing knowledge on golden comets and silver laced polish batams

If a Golden Comet is golden, it's female. Males are primarily white. The only Polish chickens I had, the cockerel had a tall down poof on the head with pointy feather tips when they started growing, pullets had shorter poof with round tipped feathers.
