Barred rock experts....male or female?

[Erin80]

6 weeks on Tuesday and we are suspecting he's a boy....any thoughts?

Looks like a girl to me. What makes you think boy?

 

[Erin80]

This one has a lot more white than my others....the others are much more mottled looking. This one just stands out.

Here are all five of my BRs.....number one and three were the ones I wasn't sure about.
The site froze as I was trying to post this, that's why the message is separate from the pictures!

I see what you mean. I have 2 female Barred Rocks that are different. Both are still dark though.

Below is a pic from BYC, lower left shows a male BR chick. Notice the amount of white compared to the black.

Keep an eye out for red combs and wattles in the next few weeks. But I think all of yours are female.

I agree with Alley. They look like pullets.

That's great, I was hoping for all girls! Thanks!

Pullets

Definately female. My young BR cockeral has a very red comb and the pullets are light like yours.
