I love this Barred Rock and named her Mrs. Norris....

[hovergirl]

so naturally she is the only one of the 6 chicks with a comb that's turning pink. This is the most social and outgoing of the chicks, and she loves her people. So what's up with the comb and these tail feathers? I want to keep her so badly!

I think Mrs. Norris might be a Mr. Norris. But I could very well be wrong.

How old is she?

 

[Judy]

Pretty dark to be a Mr.

That's pretty unusual barring, isn't it? I would say pullet based on the overwhelming black vs. white, but the barring is strange.

I have a BR pullet that had a much larger comb and even wattles early on, but turns out she's just the dominant girl. I would have sworn she was a roo until we got an egg out of her!

Just had to say that I love the name Mrs.Norris

. The comb and wattles are looking rather boyish, but the coloring looks more pullet. I think you will have to wait a while to be sure.

Looks like Mrs. to me

Her barring does look a little strange. If she is a 'barred rock', then I'd say she's a pullet.

I don't see her age listed, but I'm guessing she's close to the age of my pullets in these pictures (7-8 week of age) and you can see their combs & wattles are close to the same as the your chick (they're laying now, so definitely females):

Definitely a Mrs. Looks exactly like my 7 week old BR pullet. Just posted in another thread with a definite BR roo. Big difference.
