Sex this barred rock.

Got this one this am. Supposed to be all pullets. Pure yellow legs and erect stance makes me think cockerel. Know it's early, but really want three pullets, not two.

Thx

Please wait until six weeks, then post pics of their combs.

Ha! Six weeks is too late. Was hoping there would be some way to tell, but figured I'd have to wait. Thx

How old are They? Wait a few weeks and post again

I feel like you can tell with barred rocks. A male's headspot is a more clearer circle and they get straight white barring on their wing feathers soon as they start growing in. Yours looks like a pullet.

Thanks. Hope so. She's got a great temprament.

2 weeks old.

You're correct; it might not actually be with all BR chicks, but generally you can sex them at a super young age, I believe (though I'm wondering if it works best with one-day olds).
Though, if I'm not mistaken, the males have a more 'frosted' colored head spot that is usually larger and more 'scattered' than the female's generally more yellow, smaller, and rounded/more defined head spot. Yours does remind me of a cockerel.

I hope you post another pic in a week when the wing feathers come in more. I could be mistaken on the head spot, but my males definitely got straight stripes on the wings quick.

Head spot looks male, barring looks female. I would lean female but hopefully BR experts will weigh in.

Planning ahead, if it is a male, if I changed him out with a female, would the other two chicks accept it? At this age, they aren't establishing pecking order right?
