Is this Barred Rock chick a cockerel or a pullet?

You're so awesome to take them out of store abuse! And they sure do both look like pullets to me.

Thank you so much! Poor baby looked like she was going to die there, the store didn’t even try to help her out they were 100% okay with just letting her suffer there

They have yellow legs so they are Barred Rocks (plus Marans have slightly different barring pattern). It is a pullet. Barred birds the females are darker than the males.

Thank you !!

She is definitely a hen! Very pretty!

Thank you!!

They look more barred than cuckoo to me. This will sound silly, but to me their faces look very similar to my Dominique rather than to my Cuckoo Marans, and (according to Cackle Hatchery) Dominiques were used in the development of Barred Rocks. There is something slightly sweeter about the face of a BR or Dom compared to a Marans, in my opinion. I’ll go with my gut and guess that they are Barred Rock mixes of some kind.

Btw, your little bald chicken is absolutely adorable! I’m so glad her feathers are growing back in well, but she is so cute with her missing feathers!

Edit: changed “breeding” to “the development of” to quote Cackle more accurately.

Thank you so much! My little bald chicken is such a spiked brat and loves all the attention

They also look white to me.

Glad it’s not just me. I thought maybe my phone was broken or something

I added some pictures of the other chick please disregard her bald spot, she was attacked as a chick at the store, she’s recovering nicely though!

That’s a pullet
