Is my girl a Dominique or Barred Rock??

[CiCionh]

I have 2 Barred Rocks and two Dominique but I can't tell which is which yet. Can you help me figure out which she is?

How can you tell? I keep looking for answers online but their comb isn't in yet and I can't tell.

Have you tried "what breed or gender is this?" It's best if birds are 6-8 weeks old or more. There is only 1 barred bird in your photo, you mentioned two. The one you pictured looks to be a Barred Rock pullet.

Please submit pictures of the 2 BR and 2 Dominiques

Barred Rocks have a single comb, looks like a row of spikes. Dominiques have a rose comb, looks like a flat wedge.

I have Doms, and she looks like a Dom to me. She has a flat wedged comb. Rocks will have small saw tooth comb at that age. She is very cute. I love my Doms. They are my favorite .
