Pullet or Roo?

[MindfullLee]

Week old barred rock babe! Can’t tell! She’s suppose to be sexed but I’m suspicious feet are washed and spot on head is who knows. Feathers have been pretty dark

Try wing sexing if you not sure! It works with most breeds.

Hard to tell. Wing feathers are pretty developed

Hard to tell. Wing feathers are pretty developed

It looks to me though that she is pretty clearly a female. There are two rows of feathers in the picture! So no need to worry!

I don't know if you can see it, but there are two rows! The more developed the better! I'd say about two weeks is the best time to tell!

I understand how you feel! I got two Barred Rock Pullets at 2 days old. I was seriously questioning one because of the huge white spot covering her entire head. She did have gray on her toes, so that was making me think she could be a pullet. Now, six weeks later, she is most definitely a girl. And secretly, kind of my favorite.... She follows me whenever I'm around, sits on my shoulder, and loves her coop swing. From your pics, I would say she's a she!

I guess if she had two rows she’d be female thanks dood!

Thanks! Not that I would mind a cockerel! Love to hear them crow. My neighbor would not this little girl is my sons and he’s quite attached. She has such a cute personality so he would be upset if we had to get rid of her
