Roo or pullet?

[Panglin]

I bought barred rocks at a local feed store and they are all supposed to be pullets. This one looks different than my others is it a pullet or roo? First picture is the one I’m not sure about the other is the one I bought with it

Can I get a better view of the legs? Both for comparison.

Why do you think it's not a pullet?

I just heard that if the wings are shorter and no tail feathers have started yet it means rooster..I’m still pretty new to chickens so I’m not for sure

That's an old wives tale, girl Barred Plymouth Rock have a toupee spot, males have a mullet spot.

Could you send me a picture example?

They look like pullets based on the dark wash.

Males will sometimes have a dark wash, but it will be very little.

Leg color is more accurate.

Males light/yellow legs with little to no dark wash.

Females dark legs with dark wash.

Headspot sexing is getting sloppy, both my Heritage Plymouth Barred Rocks had small headspots, the only difference were their legs.

One was a pullet, one was a cockerel, exactly what I ordered.

It does have a lot of lighter colored in the head, but it has some on the body as well. This may be more about not being high in quality to the breed standard than about gender. Breed quality and bird quality are not the same. You may have a very healthy pullet.
