Barred Rock--- Hens or Roos?

look like hens to me. notice the black wash on the front of there legs? it looks like there going to lay soon. the leghorns will get larger combs, some chickens mature quicker than others

I think the BR are hens. The barred feathers are sex-linked, if they were roos the black barring should be lighter (grey). I have seen light girls and dark boys, but I dont see the tell tale pointy saddle and hackles of a roo. So I vote girls

I am a rank amateur on telling the gender of chickens, so I won't chime in on that score.  I got a good laugh out of their names, though.  As the proud mom of a 4 year old girl, I caught every reference, and I can see our chickies this spring getting similar names.  Almost a pity you don't have a roo.  You could have had Diego, RinToo, Tuck, Boots...the list goes on and on.

 

Incidentally, my daughter says she is Dora, I am Issa, her big brother is Diego, and her dad is The Big Red Chicken...but sometimes he gets dubbed The Grumpy Old Troll. 

 

Sorry if I hijacked this thread.  I couldn't resist.

Look like hens to me.  I agree with everything HowFunky said.  BRs are about the only type of chicken I can sex.  I wish I had known how to do it before I got 4, 2 of which were roosters.  I also love the names.  My kids are getting older, but I still can relate.  Uniqua and Tasha would be high on my list if I went that route.  

I'd say hens, too.  I have 9 of them and yours look like mine did at that age.  When they get closer to laying their combs got big, red, and a bit floppy.  I understand it's natural for barred rock hen combs to do that.

All pullets. No chance of there being a cockerel in there at 19 weeks. They're almost ready to lay too.

Hens , sometime roo have lighter color than hens or same , but these defenetly hens.

Im orpington breeder , and i sex lot chicks for the town .

Your white hens are White Rock. Leghorns have big combs, white earlobes and lay white eggs.Youir hens have red earlobes and will lay brown eggs.

This. Those aren't leghorns, but they all do look like girls.
