I think they are all hens. Barred Rock roos develop much larger and redder combs and wattles by 10 weeks. Also, the difference between the lighter roos and the darker hens is more pronounced than that.
 
All hens! There is no way those are roosters. Coloring isnt a big factor in barred rock sexing. Plus, any rooster will develop a larger comb than any other pullets at about 3.5 weeks. Good Luck with your pullets. Mine are now 16 weeks old!
 
Despite the fact that two of them are slightly lighter, the lack of comb says that they are all pullets. Plus their coloring is still darker than most BR cockerals.
 
Check there legs, feel there spurs, do they have them popping out?
So far it looks like 2 cockerels, just like they said going be the color.
ON barred rocks the females are darker black barred .
