Barred Rock Male or female?

[Michael OShay]

It is not a Barred Rock. A Barred Rock at that age would have a white spot on the top of it's head and noticable barring already in its wing feathers.

X2 on that. It's definitely not a Barred Rock. As you can see in the pic below, all Barred Rock chicks clearly have a white spot on top of their heads.

So I am sort of lost. What is your thoughts on pullet or cockerAl? And then votes on breed? I love all the help!!! Thank ypu

I think it's too soon to be certain. I vote pullet for now because of the long tail feathers, dark wash on the legs, lack of pink in the comb, & possibility of being a barred rock.
