Please tell me I got a Hen:( Otherwise see trade post that will follow...

[ChickenExtreme]

I got this Barred Rock and "she" is such a good chicken! The best one out of 3 I think and I am hopping for a hen. We cannot have Roo's in Huntington Beach, Ca 92646 so I will be trading or giving her away to a new home if "she" is a Roo.



















Any help is so appreciated!

God Bless!!

100% Roo

100% Roo

Based on what? I've seen conflicting evidence so far here. It would be really cool if you had a for sure way of knowing

I have 7, 1 roos and 6 pullets, and the roo looked just like yours with the bigger comb the whole time growing up, and they are now around 4 months old

Blood line might be different circumstances?

its a cockerel, nice large red comb, the coloring of the bird (although it looks more cuckoo than barred), and the wash down the front of its legs isnt dark enough, that wash does fade with time but on a pullet it will still be very dark with very little to no yellow showing

In those pics that you chose of hens to compare, they are full grown, mature hens. Yes, they will have red combs and wattles..they develop as they get closer to egg laying and will get even darker red as they start to lay. However, you will notice that they are smaller and more feminine.

Your little guy is way too young to be showing signs of redness and comb/wattle growth for it to be a pullet. I'm sorry...it's a cockeral and I know that you don't want to believe it but, it's true
