Male or female?

[dcrowe]

I thought all my chicks were female until this one started crowing at 5am. Is it a male or just a female acting like a rooster???

Definitely a cockerel. Male barred rocks are more white then black. It would be much darker if it was a pullet.

Welcome to BYC. That's a cockerel.

You have a male.

When you hear hoofbeats think horses not zebras.
When you hear a crow think cockerel/cock not a crowing pullet/hen.

No doubts that's a cockerel. Barred rock cockerels are always much lighter than the pullets.
