This is my 7 week Barred Rock (Hatchery chick - sexed at Meyers as a Pullet). Would love some opinion from folks who know Rocks really well on gender. At about 4 weeks people were telling me it was a cockerel because there was a little burst of comb development. Comb hasn't had another big growth since then - pretty similar to how it was at 4-5 weeks. From the darker coloring and dark splash down legs I was thinking Pullet. Also as a little chick it did have a pretty defined head spot. "She" does have a pink comb but it looks exactly the same color as my Golden Sex Link Pullet so I'm a bit confused by the whole thing about Pullets combs not pinking up when I know my Sex Link is a Pullet. All this is so confusing.
Any thoughts? Guidance on understand the whole guessing gender thing?
