What gender might these be? Our Barred rock are almost 5 weeks old.

We have these three babies and this is new to us. I’ve changed my mind about 10 times on if these all 3 are Roos or not. Any idea?

They’re all cockerels. 3 has quite dark barring but no pullet should be that red at less than 5 weeks.

Oh man, th6ise are all cockerels I think.

All cockerels, no doubt. But if roosters are allowed where you are, you might be able to keep them all!

I’ve heard of all-rooster flocks. They are quite interesting...

I’m pretty sure 3’s a pullet actually, the comb notwithstanding the males are usually lighter coloured and the females tend to be darker.

I hope so.
