Barred Rock

Pullet or Roo?

I picked this little "pullet" up 3 days ago. I am having such a difficult time deciding pullet or roo. What do you guys think?? I'm assuming 3-4days old.

I wanted another female BR because I love my original one, so I got another "pullet" and turned to be a male. Hoping I'm not unlucky a second time! Thanks!

It’s a gamble at this point, some barred rocks can be sexed by headspots and others can’t. It looks pretty defined, so that would point to it being a pullet. In a few weeks, when he/she is getting more feathers in, you should be able to tell. Males will be double barred and have lots more white, and females will be duller overall.

I think @nuthatched described it as: boys have a mullet and girls have a toupee, but they have to be bred for it to work.

The description stuck in my head, so I thought I'd share it.

Kinda leaning boy just based on the headspot. But you'll know for sure in a few weeks.
