Oh that's so great to hear! I don't see any whites on the wings yet, and from all that I've read on this thread, that's good for a girl. Thanks jasondgarza!

Oh yay ! I'm dying to find out the gender of my BR. I have a two year old one I love to death!
This chick is 6 + weeks. He/ she is with one for sure rooster and not quite sure if it's 2 yet.

Here's it's pics any info I would love!
I have a idea but don't want to say Intel I hear from experienced BR owners. Here we go...

[/IMG] the picture with the white Olive egger is obviously a cockerel . I read some where that other cockerels are slower to grow. If they have a dominant cockerel . I'm not sure if this is true or not? Any info would be great. She looks like a hen acts. Like one too! Her tail is very hen like as well .

That's a pullet.

Yay ! Her face is a bit red. However it's warm. I just took these .

I'm excited ! I love Lola my older BR ! If I could do it all over again . I would go ZbR and austlorp. How ever, I love them all! Even when they eat my garden!

Boy is definitely a "he" lol. He started crowing at like 8 weeks (cutest little attempt of a crow)
He's 24 weeks in this pic, and HUGE. not sure he's a Barred Rock now though...

This one looks like it might be a black sexlink cockerel. A five week old pullet, would not be that red in the comb.

He looks like a mixed breed. There may be some Barred Rock in him, but he definitely is not purebred.

I agree

Here are a couple of pictures that should give you a great example of the difference between a Cockerel and a Pullet. Both of these beauties were born in April making them about 6 months old. It has been my experience that Cockerels have much more white and much brighter red comb and waddle. preschoolmama you do not have a Barred Rock Roo.. It looks to be a mix.
