I think I have a sneaky roo!

So bought all pullet chicks, and I think they might have messed up with one. Which would be awesome because all I have are hens otherwise and having one boy would probably make them all happy. But even though I'm pretty sure, I wanted some backup opinions just in case.

It's the barred rock that I wonder about.

That's a cockerel, all right. Sorry. It does happen about 10% of the time--no hatchery guarantees 100% accuracy with sexing.

That is what I was thinking, just had to get some other opinions as I was at the 90% sure. But I'm actually happy that she is a he, so no need to be sorry! Now if the others had been boys I might have been a little sad as I hate trying to give away a boy, no one wants them where I live so they more often than not end up in the pot. Had a coop break in that left me without a boy so it is a blessing really.

Cockerel for sure. But at least you've got a sweet breed to guard your hens. Barred Rock cocks are the best.
