Hen or roo?

[Barredrocker117]

Hello! First time posting here....I live in a smaller neighborhood that does not allow roosters. Sadly I had to give away what I thought was a hen this morning...he was definitely a rooster (longer tail, crowing in the morning) and when I got back from his new home my little lady in the pic, to my surprise, started to crow. Can anyone tell me if she is actually a hen or a rooster? Thank you! She is barred rock (is what the seller told me, but she looks like a cross breed).

This is a very nice looking Bielefelder cockerel.

I can see the long and pointed saddle feathers.

Do you have any more "pullets" you purchased from this seller? You might want to post some pictures so we can tell you what you really have.

I am sorry, but this one is another cockerel.

How old were these chicks when you purchased them?

Oh no!!! You’re 100% sure? How do you tell, just by the tail feathers?

They said 9 weeks when we got them!

There are some more things to take into consideration as for example comb and wattles size and colour, hackle and saddle feathers, tails feathers...

Sold as pullets or straight run?

How old are they now?
