Help please! 11 weeks old... Roo or hen Barred Rock?

[Kdye]

Please help me! Is my Barred Rock a Roo or a hen? I don’t see the tail feathers of a roo, but it has the coloring of a roo and a big comb!

I see a lot of white, with that barring. I'm going with Cockeral

Cockerel.

I'm going with cockerel as well. My barred rock pullet is the same age, about, and her coloring is much more black barring, rather than white barring. She also doesn't have much of a comb or wattles to speak of.

He's very handsome though!

I'm thinking cockerel as well. My BR pullets didn't develop their combs and wattles until around 18 weeks and they were more pink at first then red.

Hi, I could use some similar advice since I can't have cockerels in my neighborhood. These two are approximately 12-15 weeks old. I think the one with the pale legs is a male and the one with the yellow legs female.

They are both pullets.
