I know what you're gonna say but I have to ask....

Ok I would like you to meet one of our BR named "Pat". We've named her "Pat" because we don't know if she is a Patricia or a Patrick.

Here are her/his other pullet mates plus Mariah's bum (our only Brahma)

Here is a better head shot of "Pat"

As you notice, "Pat" has a more devoloped comb and pointy tail. There isn't any crowing but there is such a difference in their features it makes me wonder if my pullet is actually a roo. They are probably 15 weeks at this point. What do you all think?

Very pretty roo

I agree with chickschool: very pretty roo!

Rooster

So no chance it's a manly hen?

I'd also say Pat is a roo. With barred rocks, roos are typically lighter in color, as Pat is, and also look at the comb, compared to that of your others.

Patrick for sure.

Yes Pat is lighter in coloring than the other pullets. :: slumps ::

Nope, no chance. The coloring and the saddle feathers are coming in too. Sorry.
