My 2 little Barred Rock chick's, I think i have one of each????? PICS

Ah, here they are

The one on the very left with the diffuse spot and light markings I thought was a boy, but turned out to be a hen. But if you look at the front of her legs you can see that they are splashed with black.

Sorry I can't help you more than that

Thank's for the post. Yes they should be barred rock's because they were taken out of the barred rock bin at RK. But i do know they make mistakes, they had black sex link chicks there but they seem'd to have alot darker beak's than the barred rock's...plus an absence of the dot marking on the head.

Should i post up some pic's of their legs?? Also, im kinda stumped about the their tail feathers. One chick has none, and the other chick has very noticeable tail feathers. Does this have any say in sexing BR's?

Im guessing you are baseing this off of the comb size as in the chick on the right has a noticeably larger one. Do i need to base my decision entirely off of it's comb????

I'm mainly basing it off the comb, but if it's a sex-link, then there's not going to much to sex then! LOL!

feet pictures...what ya think???

With my BRs, the roos were very slow to develop tail feathers in comparison to the hens. I've found this generally true with several breeds, but not all. I use that as one of a compilation of signs to determine sex; however they can still fool you. So now you have a list of things to consider:
Head spot
Leg coloring
Feather development
Comb development
Behavior (little roos love to chest bump, but sometimes hens will get in on the action...usually not as frequently or aggressively as the roos)
and of course, in time, egg laying or crowing
It's all a matter of

time and patience

Good luck!

Thanks for help, so what does everyone think about the feet pictures and based on that method?
