Pullet or cockerel?

[Chicken love to infinity]

HI! Just got this Barred rock on Friday. Around 2-3 days old now. Supposed to be a girl but just making sure. What do you think?

Breed and where you got it?

I’m assuming barred rock chick.

I’d personally not pick it for a pullet. I have hatched several with head spots like that and been surprised though.

Sorry, yes it's a barred rock chick, forgot to add that. That's what I thought. Was supposed to be a sexed pullet but looks and acts like a roo. I could tell even before I read about the dot thing as the rooster chicks I've had in the past have smaller, less fuzzy heads.

Barred rock. At my feed store, they got him/her from hoovers hatchery, they had just arrived.

Looks more like a Cuckoo Marans with that pink beak.

Either way, unless they were specifically bred to sex by head spot, it's usually not too accurate. Post updated pics at 6 weeks showing comb and wattles.

Supposed to be a Plymouth Barred rock according to the guy at the feed store. I will post more photos later, it's probably too soon to tell anyways. Thanks anyways!
