Hen or Roo?

[lstoner]

Hello! First time posting- I went with a new breed this year and bought 2 barred rock pullets from a local farm and home store. When mucking their coop today, noticed a difference in the comb and under neck area. Do I have a roo? 7ish weeks old

Welcome to BYC! Yep looks like you've got a little cockerel there. My current "top" roo is a BR and he's pretty much a gentleman. He'll be handsome!

Thanks everyone- I’m out there everyday and haven’t noticed but low and behold today I looked at him and thought Uh-oh! Where did that come from! Oh well, at least he’s pretty!

Cockerel

I had the same thing happen to me. I bought two BR pullets from a feed store, and one was a rooster. I tried to get a refund, but they said they couldn't, because that was the hatchery's deal.....

Yup you have a cockerel.
