male or female barred rock chick

[amber16]

Hello! I am new to chicken keeping and I just purchased this chick last week. I believe it was around one week old when purchased. I know it's early but wanted to know if anyone can give a guess as to whether this is a male or female. It is def. bigger then all my other chicks of the same age and has a noticeable comb...not big, but it's there. And it has a darkish wash on the feet and a small yellow spot on the head which is fading as it gets older. the first 2 are when i got the chick, the next one is 2 days ago and the last three are from today.

I’m seeing mixed traits... I’m thinking male, because of how much white is in the wing.

Could be a cockerel. It's awfully light colored, and the wing white barring is pretty wide.

I see lots of white. I vote cockerel

ya...I've been thinking boy from the start too...even before the white. Its the personality...just seems a bit jerkish haha jumps on the other chicks, not very friendly, def. dominate personality. But it is a lot of white. I will post an update when he (fingers crossed) she gets bigger.

It's still to young to give a guess on gender with any accuracy.

Looks like a coin flip at this time to me.
