Roo or Hen, that is the question?

[Ccrielly]

Hello,. I recently got 6 more chicks to add to my flock. I am a bit concerned that I accidentally picked up a Roo. Thoughts?

You accidentally picked a barred rock cockerel.

The rest look like pullets to me.

Oh no, so it’s a rooster and it isn’t even a French Cuckoo Maran like the bin said.....Ugh

Does it have feathered legs?

Does it have feathered legs?

Yes, it has feathered legs

 

[Pretty Birds]

Yes, it has feathered legs

Then it is a French Cuckoo Maran. Barred Rocks have clean legs.

But it’s most likely a rooster?

If it has a larger, redder comb it’s a boy.
