Is Daisy actually a Dave?

[OurFirsrChicks]

Hi there,
im new at keeping chickens. We bought this one as a POL pullet but her comb has grown massively and she is not laying yet, 6 months on. she doesn’t crow but behaves a little different to the others. Could it be a rooster?
thankful for advice x

In my opinion it’s a barred rock,male.I’ve had 2 of these over the past 3 years,they’re quite recognisable for their black and white strips.

I am the absolute worst when it comes to guessing breed and sex of birds.
Your post made me laugh out loud because even I know this is not a barred rock.

i thought her saddle feathers were awfully non-existent for a roo.

and her neck feathers are round... she's a pullet.

Not even close.
It’s a female Black Mottled Ancona.

:/ wat? those are spots, not stripes! and this girl's brown, not grey!

how do they look similar?

I'm not familiar with this breed, however I do not see male specific feathering. Could be laying any day with the red comb. At best I'm bumping the thread for someone with more expertise. @Overo Mare? Is this breed in your wheel house?
