My most grown up Chicken

[LysanderSpooner]

This is Jaime. I have four Barred Rock (20wks) which are from a local farm store, pullets.This chicken is the first to have the full comb and her tail is spreading out. We are wondering if we got that 5% chicken that may be a rooster in the pullet bin. I'd love to hear your insight. What questions do you have?

What are the signs?

How do you know?

It's easy. Pointed saddles, hackles, Sickles, large red comb, & wattles.

Also, Barred Rock cockerels/roosters are lighter in color due to being double barred.
