Hi! All of the barred rocks are pullets based on their nice dark coloring. The buff Orps are harder to tell, but so far they look like pullets.Hello Everyone!!! I am hoping my chicks are developed enough for the experts to tell me what gender my chicks are. I have six and will post their photos separately. I banded them all so I can tell them apart.
the first is my Barred Plymouth Rock (BPR) red band
Pullet is the term for a female chicken under 1 yr, hen is over a year.
Cockerel is a male under a year, and cock or cockbird is a male over 1 yr. Sadly cock has another coarser and more frequently used meaning, so rooster seems to be the more common label nowadays.
