This is one of my barred rocks, just about 4 months old...& I'm worried she might be a he?! Can someone help me figure out the best way to ID it?

I'd guess pullet but I'm not for sure. You should ask here https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this

Welcome to BYC!

It's a little fuzzy on my end, but I think it's a she.

Hello and Welcome To BYC! X2 try posting in the What Breed/Gender forum, picture is fuzzy but it does look like a pullet from that.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

My Barred Rocks are 15 weeks old, one week less than your bird, and they don't have nearly the comb that yours does....


So if your bird is indeed 16 weeks old, I vote cockerel, not pullet.

Welcome to BYC! Glad you decided to join our flock. I agree with TwoCrows. I think you have a cockerel, but I would definitely recommend posting on What Breed or Gender is This? Please feel free to ask any more questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck with your BR.

I think male also but, I know nothing about barred rocks, get opinions from BR breeders or wait a few more weeks and I'm sure you'll know positively
