I'm not 100% sure, but I think the dark barres are male, lighter are female - or vice versa?

I think we need to see more pictures...I think they may be barred rock. Are you sure they are Doms. Doms have rose combs. Those look like single combs to me.

They look like pullets (Males have lighter barring, females darker.) I agree that they kind of look like Barred Rocks though.

those are barred rocks. I have 4 just like them lol  Barred rocks are great through. They are my friendliest birds by far :D One of mine begs to be picked up and with run back and forth between my legs tripping me until I pick her up and pet her for a while... then she will fall asleep in my arms. I bought them intending to sell them... but somehow I don't think I will be able to sell them... I adore them too much!!

Defiantly Doms, not barred rocks. Had to tell on sex, with our strain the pullets are much darker at that age and the cockerels are much lighter. Going by combs it looks like a pair, no sex feathers showing that my old eyes can see, going by color....

 

I'd guess cockerels. idunno.gif

I'm guessing cockerel too, only because of coloring
