Something to add is that she doesn’t have long back, pin feathers that a cockerel would probably have, I have two roosters that are barred rocks and they showed much more characteristics earlier, (long floppy combs, semi aggressive/skittish attitude, crowing, large wattle, and large, pearlescent feathers in the back, and a couple brown/orange feathers.
They had all that at 8 weeks?
They had most of that a maybe three months, but only after a couple weeks they were showing aggression towards each other and weren’t acting like hens, they were very skittish and didn’t get along very well.
If there was any Dominique or barred rock it’s have to be from the dad. He was a mutt from a friend’s flock. She couldn’t tell me what breeds she has. I hatched him from an egg.
The chick is definitely a pullet. And thus far, no signs of any color leakage from the buff mom. I wish I could get a pic of the baby next to my barred rock, but the barring on the pullet is not clear and defined like the barred rock.
