those are adults and your chicks resemble the rooster in the front rather than the dull looking hens in the back. your chicks are nice and vibrant in coloring the reason your's have the look of the hens wattles and comb is because they are 9 weeks old and not 1 year olds you have to remember you are dealing with little baby chicks and not full grown adults like these pics above....
This is why I'm confused. My chicks look like the ones in the rear!
This pic is listed as a hen. Nice waddle!
the cockerel is in the front (yours look a lot like these just with the cuckoo pattern) and the pullet is in the back (these are barred rocks but pure barred and cuckoo birds feather out the same way cockerels vibrant pullets dull)
