You picked a cross that's sex-linked! Solid red rooster over black barred hen = solid black pullets, and barred black cockerels! Sometimes genetics quickly delivers good news!

I agree. With a barred mother and a not-barred father, that not-barred chick must be a female.

Welcome to BYC!

Please note in addition to what the first poster stated.. they are identifiable on hatch day.. males having a white spot on the head and females not having that spot. The spot is the indicator of barring that will later be seen.
