Hen or Rooster??

[autumnbee17]

Hey I have been having a really tough time trying to figure out if my chick is a gen or a rooster. At first I thought it was a hen but now I'm not sure. Can someone help me please.

How old is it? Looks like a rooster to me.

Maybe show a pic of it next to a fellow chick the same age? I always tell by the other chicks its age. If it's larger and brighter then some of the others, I assume it and the other ones with bigger combs are cockerels and the smaller pale ones are hens

Age would also help

9 weeks old and the chick is a little bigger than everyone else.

Cockerel

Cockerel. At 9 weeks old the red comb and wattle, along with so much white in the feather barring means male.

My barred rock is around four months old and her comb/waddle are barely bigger than his are now. I've read that if the tail feathers are rounded, they're a hen. Pointy, roo. Not sure if this is only for specific breeds. Couldn't really see tail feathers very well in the pictures.

Well they look rounded but some look pointed.
