This is my 16 week old what I believe to be a, Barred Plymouth Rock. Looking for confirmation that it is and also that it is a Hen?
Thanks for any help.

Do you have any earlier photos?
There are no saddle feathers, the feathering looks girly enough.
With that comb at 16 weeks I would say rooster usually for a lot of breeds, but BR do seem to develop quickly.
I would expect a girl to have a slightly smaller comb still.
Photos of this bird a month ago would really help.
I'm leaning rooster at the moment.

I couldn't find any photos, I found this short video, but I can't seem to upload it. 😐Thank you for your help.
 
Right. At 6 months, your birds combs will be properly developed. In a 4 month old bird I would still be expecting less comb growth. Barred rocks lay at 4-5 months, but their comb should be just starting to grow and redden. Not fully red and huge like this one's.
I'm thinking this one is male.
