Gender - 8-9 week old Barred Rock and Asian Black - More/better Pics!

[MrLeeHo]

Hi all,
I have 1 barred rock and 2 asian blacks that were sold as pullets. They are now 8-9 weeks old (the Asian's are a week older than the BR). Looking/hoping for confirmation that I indeed have 3 pullets. Thanks

I think all pullets, but it would've helped if you got pictures of each of them.

I will try to get some better pics today, they are quick little boogers and i can't ever seems to get shots of them unless they are eating something

#2 and #3 are possible cockerels.

That sounds good. I *think* I see 3 pullets, though.

Adding more pictures with numbers for the chicks. Hopefully this helps get some more input.

All thoughts are welcome. Thanks!

Are the new pics more helpful? Thanks

The "Plymouth Barred Rock" isn't a Plymouth Rock.

Legs are pink with a dark wash.

Looks like a cockerel. It is also a Asian Black which are occasionally barred.

That is surprising because I got it from a bin where all of the chicks were barred with white spot on the head that was next to the bid that was labeled Asian Black. For my sake i hope you are wrong, i would hate to have to rehome 2 of 3 babies that were sold as pullets. I know 80-90% accuracy is typical and would be just my luck if i hit 33%

Thanks, and i am not attempting to discredit your opinion. Just trying to better understand. I follow the leg color regarding the PBR. What you are saying about the barred bird is that it looks like a cockerel based on comb/wattle but that it does not have the double white bar that cuckoo maran/PBR have? "IF" it is a pullet is it possible that it is a cuckoo maran or are there other indicators that are driving you towards saying it is not?
Thanks again.

It's definitely not a Cuckoo Marans, Cuckoo Marans cockerels would be double Barred like a barred Rock cockerel.

Barred Rocks have yellow skin, & legs.

The Asian Blacks that were sold at my TSC a couple years ago was a mix of solid black, & black with headspots
