Ok, I had 4 Barred Rocks from a local breeder. 3 very obvious Roos (all crowing), 1 "obvious" hen (not laying or crowing).. Well.. I just purchased some new hens from a friend including one Barred Rock hen and now I'm pretty sure my other "girl" is a subtle looking rooster due to the dramatic difference in feathers... Any thoughts would be appreciated, im pretty new to chickens

Pullet or cockerel?
It's tail feathers are soo much longer than my other SS that's what's making me think maybe it's a roo..
I'm afraid I really cant be sure. Tail is very like a cockerels, but it has hardly any wattle development.
I'm leaning towards cockerel.
Maybe post more pics in a few weeks.
