Worried my Barred Rock might be a rooster

[ndjili]

My sister got a Barred Rock last week and we're worried it might be a rooster. It's 4 week old now.

It does appear to be a cockeral.

This bird will not stand still for a photo.

It's been a week and a half, still not sure if it's a a pullet or cockerel. We're not sure the age but we think it's 5 or 6 weeks old.

It is still a cockerel. The large red comb and the tiny wattles already appearing under the beak are dead give-a-ways.

Pullets to not sprout combs/wattles until much closer to sexual maturity. Congratulations, you've got a cockerel.

I actually have one of these, but when I got it was really hard to tell the sex till she got older. Since both rooster and hen are about the same
in height its difficult to tell.

fingers crossed its a hen.
