"99% sure it is a hen. From what i could see in the pic, the neck feathers are way too short.
could be an aberration of the chicken, or aberration of my eyes.
but if it turns out to be a rooster, it may well be the first politically-correct breed :)"

"Well, it may be a rooster, then. You'll know soon enough! :)Often the personality will be different, too. Roos tend to be less "chicken." As they mature they become more dominating, but young ones may act like the hens."

"I can't tell by the pictures. The tail MAY be longer than a hen's. Does it have longer legs and stand up straighter than the others?"

Hi Group,Can anyone tell from the pictures if our barred rock is a rooster or hen?  This morning the chicken was making close to crowing sounds, however I do know that some hens will also make that sounds on occasion.
