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.

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

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.
