Hello, I'm following up a previous post with more pictures. Thanks so much for your opinions on my plymouth barred rocks. Someone asked for more photos. I would be so pleased if these were pullets as one person suggested. I have arranged to take them back on Friday as I was so sure they were roosters! They are dark, but I wonder if just a dark batch - they have a few dark/greenish feathers coming out in their tails and wings.
I should add they are about 15 weeks old.

Thanks so much! That's great. I was concerned their tails were too long and flowing to be pullets. I'll cancel their return.

Agree those are pretty pullets. Pullets get those funky tail feathers from time to time, but they molt out of them. Males would be lighter colored and have a lot more comb, and the combs would be red. Plus at this age the males would be gawky and leggy looking, not rounded and feminine like these ladies.
