And...it's looking like the one barred rock we have left might be a roo. :-/ I've been trying to read up and it's still confusing to me.

Here's its leg, Kinda medium in color.


And its head spot. Rather muddled, with light on its chin too.



And its wing tips are already white. Not sure if this is an indicator or not, but I thought it's interesting.

It's still too young to be sure. Once the wings are mostly feathered in, you can get a good idea of whether or not a chick has male or female barring. Males have two copies of the barring gene, which means they have twice as much white as a pullet. Wide bands of white and narrow bars of black indicate cockerel. Wide bars of black indicate pullet.

someone said the were dominoe?? And can't remember what the guy at the store said. I figure I will keep learning to find out what they are but this in is a female and she and those in her flock also female have a yellowish white spit on top of head
 
Probably domique-the word you are thinking of-, and they screwed up telling you, they look like barred rocks to me but both breeds have the barring it is the comb that sets them apart as adults, unless they are show quality(no farm store stock show quality one of the guys that works at out local store was trying to put that one on me) then you can see the body shape difference of the two.


ETA:added a few words that got left out
