Pullet or Rooster???

[johnmayersquare]

Please, please, please......let her be a her. She is a 5 week old Barred Rock pullet, supposedly....but I don't know now???? What do you all think? Thanks!

He looks a lot like a he to me. Lots of white and a pink comb at 5 weeks. He's no she.

You think??? Poo! I guess this is part of the 90% accuracy in sexing thing, heheheheeh. Thanks!

That's alot more comb and pinkness than my 2 BR's who are 5-6 weeks old. Although mine do have some pinkness to their combs. I'd guess its a boy.

sorry to hijack, but I was just going to ask the exact same thing of my RIR. It's the middle one. Got them all from a pet store. Do I take him back and exchange for a pullet? They said they were all pullets!

How old are they??? Are they all the same age?? If so, I'm thinking a Roo.

 

[flockof5]

Yes, they are all the same age. I got them the week before Easter. I think they were about a week old then.

Looks like a boy to me.

Roo. Roo.

I can't have roos where I live. What do I do now? I don't want him to become food for someone's snake.
