Is this a rooster?

[mela]

Needing help..can you tell if this barred rock is a rooster? I think it is about 6 weeks old. I have three and the all look the same.

Yeah, we can tell but we need pictures. Do you already know how to post pictures?

 

[PekinBantam]

Almost forgot...

I guess I don't. Where can I go and learn?

You know the reply box/tab that you write in? On top you will see several icons, one of them is a square with a house on it. If you hover the cursor over that (without clicking) it should say "Insert image". Click it and select "My computer" then select the pictures you want to post...

hard to tell from the pic

I am guessing you have a pullet there. The cockerels tend to be lighter in color.

Looks like a roo but at that age it's uncertain.

Is this picture any better? I am really hoping that I don't have 3 roosters!

I believe you have pullets. The pattern on a rooster is usually lighter and finer than the pullets. Perhaps you can see the difference in this picture. The BR roo is on the left, the pullet to the far right (sorry she is only a partial, but it is the best pic I have with young ones together.) These are about 7 weeks old - notice how big the comb is on the roo.
