Just double checking....

This adorable Barred OEGB is currently nearing 4 weeks of age, and I'm beginning to lose hope it's a cockerel. Albeit lighter than definite pullets, that plumage is still quite dark. Comb's pink, but not as developed as most of the OEGB cockerels. Any thoughts thus far?

We're planning on rehoming a few of these little ones soon, and don't want to give away any boys. What can I say, I'm selfish. Gotta love those tiny men!

Hmm..

 

[FluffTheDuck]

Can I see it's feet? Also, spread out it's wings and take a pic for me.

 

[FluffTheDuck]

So far, to me, it looks like a cockerel. I'm hoping that it is!

 

[FluffTheDuck]

The white one is ADORABLE!!!!

 

[FluffTheDuck]

What breed is that white one? Might get one.

 

[FluffTheDuck]

Is it a leghorn or White rock?

 

[FluffTheDuck]

Please say a White Rock, please...

 

[FluffTheDuck]

White rocks are pretty good with Barred Rocks, and that's what I have but if it isn't then it's not meant to be.

Thank you so much for your input, @FluffTheDuck ! Here are a few shots showing feet and wings. Sorry they're blurry....it was incredibly difficult to keep this little booger still.

As for the light-colored chick, she's one of my Red Pyle OEGBs. Don't lose hope, bantams can mix with standards, especially if integrated properly. I keep both Barred and White Rocks, as well as many OEGBs.
