Sex this BR

[Sueby]

Supposed to be 11-12 weeks Barred Rock pullet. It looks a little light to me for a pullet, but it has not even a bit of pink to the comb. Wouldn't a boy have some indication in the comb by now? It came from a backyard breeder who I don't have much faith in as 2 of the 4 birds were the wrong breeds. Maybe it's a pullet with bad barring? Not really visible in the pics, but it does have barring down the front of the legs. The other 3 birds are supposed to be the same age, for comparison.

What do you think?

CM pullet.

CM pullet.

Hmmm, really?!

ETA: I would love that. & I just checked, she supposedly sells CMs too.

 

[LadiesAndJane]

Yes, agree CM pullet, leg color gives it away.

I'm glad everyone seems to agree she's a she. I thought so by the comb, but the light color threw me off & had me doubting.

I am not surprised on her being a CM & not a BR, that makes 3 of 3 ordered not what they were supposed to be! & I did some googling, she definitely doesn't have yellow legs, they are for sure pink.

Likely the breeders were the ones mistaken. Thought they had BRs and that’s what they listed them as when the chicks where sold.. but actually have they CMs and THATS what they sold. They probably have no idea, and thought that it was honest

She says she sells both BR & CMs. I'd like to agree & give her the benefit of the doubt, but I ordered:
1 Aruacana (which I picked out of curiosity as I knew it wouldn't really be one)
1 Buff Orpington
1 Barred Rock

& this is what I got :

She threw in the Black Australorp. I don't care one bit, I just wanted different looking birds that I didn't have to put leg bands on & anything that wasn't a production red (already have those) & that's exactly what I got. But it does crack me up that they were all wrong.
