Updated sex verify please

[MemaDeb]

I know that I have been a complete pain with verifying the sex of my chicks.. They are 6 weeks and 4 days old today. I was asked to get another view of the Araucana (EE)/Barred Rock Cross to double check if it was a pullet. I am yes?? Middle is definitely Barred Rock Roo. Only one of the 3 with a comb like his.

Hi!
Yes, middle one looks like a roo. Single comb and red at this age. The other two, americana (easter egger is more correct term, lots of confusion about the right names) are too early to tell. Breeds with pea combs often do not show their gender until close to 12 weeks. You have some pretty birds though, you will just have to hang tight for a few more weeks!

Which parent is barred? If the hen is barred, and the rooster is not then any barred offspring will be male.

Darkest bird is a pullet.
IMO both others are young men.
Pattern is too random, and of course, one has a nice big comb.

I have a Barred Rooster but I also have 3 Barred Hens. I have several EEs and a variety of other hens.

1 pullet, and 2 roosters.
