Pullet or Roo??? Barred Rock Chickens

[Darlene42]

Here are my four chickens - they are about 14 weeks old. I am not allowed to keep a rooster and want to place it at my friends farm sooner the later, if I have a roo which I think I do. Please let me know what you think. My dark chicken (Gapper) has what I think are rooster feathers.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the bird in picture 3 is your only pullet out of the 4.

Gapper and Blake cockerels.
Csn you get a clear shot of all of Denise

Agreed. First pic looks like a cockerel, second - cockerel, third - pullet, and fourth - cockerel.

Most of us in here have experienced the same kind of bad luck. Were these supposed to be sexed pullets? Is there anyway you can take the boys back to the seller and maybe exchange for pullets?

Cockerel for sure. I can see hackle/saddle feathers growing in already sorry to say.

Not barred rocks as shown by mismatched barring/ gender on the boys and the patches shown by Blake

I seem to have that happen to me a lot when I buy banties. I think the pullets/cockerel ratio is more like 80/20!!

Peggy is the only pullet. Also, the roosters look like black sex links, not barred rocks.
