Is this rooster booty? 🐓

[OtherClucker]

10 week barred rock from farm store.

I bought her in a group of chicks marked pullets, but her head is very light in color compared to her sisters. No difference in comb though!

Optimistically using female pronouns. Sorry if I am misgendering you, Butternut

Is this rooster booty?

It's a pullet. Why do you think it's a cockerel

Looks like a lady to me

Because I am inexperienced and the information out there is all over the place. The lighter color in barred rocks supposedly means rooster? Curling feathers around butt, thought that was a sign too. But that's why I'm here asking!

My cuckoo Maran Hen has feathering like that, and she's most definitely a hen, haha.

Butternut is a pullet.

She is a pullet, but might not be purebred barred rock, with that funky coloring.

Thanks! Yeah, that was confusing to me. They're supposed to be Plymouth barred rocks from Cackle, but a bit odd

Shes not a barred rock (at least not a proper one), but if she was, what people mean by lighter coloring is that male barred rocks have more barring than females so they look lighter.
Like this:
Both sexes have feathers that curl like that but on males, the feathers will be long, skinny and end with a point.

Thanks! I wonder what mix they are, since the consensus is that they are not PBR as advertised at Wilco. They were also selling Wyandottes and white leghorns from Cackle at the time, and that's about it.
