Sight Sexing Barred Plymouth Rock Chicks at Hatch

[sproctor83]

Same question here! Got 3 barred rocks from a feed store supposed to all be pullets but one is already much bigger and fiestier. He(?) has a big white/cream spot on his noggin, light "eyebrows" and a white wing tip already. Any thoughts? These are my first birds

I would think your sexing would be correct. That one little one looks like cockerel to me but I am very new to this.

Hi there, I am new to chickens and just took home my first chicks. I bought two barred rocks, 2.5 weeks old... tried to pick out pullets. I feel fairly confident that Chick #1 is a pullet, but I wasn't as sure about Chick #2. The more I look at them, I think chick #2 may be a roo, as the white stripes on its wing tips are a little wider than the other chick's, and it has more white on its neck. If anyone could give me their opinions, I would appreciate it! Thanks

RIGHT = Chick 1 (pullet?), LEFT = Chick 2 (roo?)

It turns out that it is rather tricky to get a good picture of chicks!!

These both look like girls to me. Chick #2 has a single spot on its head and the bars aren't noticing lighter. Not to me anyway
