Famous roo or pullet question....

[BlackHackle]

It doesnt scream boy to me but, I have no experience with that breed. Looks like it's close to laying...

LOL, this is a rooster, there is no doubt about it. It has the color characteristics of a Barnevelder Rooster. The hens have the full double laced patterns

Back on May 2nd I got my order of chicks from Ideal. I ordered 3 Barnevelders, 3 Easter Eggers, and 3 Welsummers all 9 as pullets. As it seems, one of my Barnevelders may have been sexed incorrectly. They are about to turn 3 months in August and this one looks completely out of place. I'm 99.9% sure it's a cockerel but it's always nice to get others opinions.

Heres a sibling which I'm sure is a pullet.

Sorry if it's not the best image but had to use my zoom in order to take these pics.

This is a male. You can see the male coloring that is normal of Golden Double Laced breeds

I figured, I was right. Thank you for all the responses. One lucky rooster with 8 hens for him.

Well here's an update. He just turned 5 months and of course was crowing at 4 months. He is one beautiful rooster.

You probably wanted a hen, but if it was me I wouldn't be too disappointed. He is gorgeous.
