Two Week Old Barred Rock Sexing

[MissTracy]

Thinking the heavy white is a male, the other two females? New to this breed as chicks.

Does one not have a single comb?
Hard to see much with them under that light.
I'm almost thinking all are male from size of head spots.

I agree

It’s hard to tell under the light... how old were he/she when you got them?

Because with some chicks when they’re really young you can look to see if they have tiny pin feathers in their wings, not sure if that only works with certain breeds or not...

Just got them yesterday - was reading that heavy white barring indicates male (and that’s the only one that pecks me lol). They were two weeks when I got them. Sorry about the lighting, I’ll add more pics tomorrow

Males will have thicker white bars. From what I can see, 1 has a rose comb which means hes a Dominique, not barred rock.

What does their legs look like.
Yellow or yellow with a black wash on the front?

It only works with chicks from certain combinations of parents. With most chicks, it will not work.

Ok thanks! I wasn’t sure, so that’s really helpful.
