Knock up coop

Although I’m not convinced the barred rock is a male, it’s quite dark like a female

It's really not. It's quite light, like a male. The black bars would be twice as wide as the white if it were a female.

Always the way

I look at a LOT of Barred Rock chicks, they're what I breed I have two more in my 2 week old group that I'm strongly suspecting, give me one more week and I'll know for sure on them too. It takes a couple batches, and then the boys just really start to jump out at you. You just get in trouble if you're in Australia as they're still breeding them the hard way to get darker-barred males.

I am in Australia. I guess that’s what got me. The fact the bars are so dark. Ho hum. His waddles and comb started up this week too.

Oops
Still a male though, with that much red and wattles at such a young age. Australian ones are the ones I really can't sex as younger chicks, the differences just aren't strong enough for me to say for sure. I bet he's got some thick legs on him too
