Was sure they were hens, now I’m not!

Hello again chicken friends!
I was sure all my 14 1/2 week chickens were hens a few weeks ago. Now one of my RIRs has some pointy neck feathers that have me unsure!
I also have what I thought were two Barred Plymouth Rocks, but after doing some more looking into it on here I’m seeing their legs should be yellow. They have two different body styles and since they probably aren’t a pure breed I’m not sure if I know as much as I thought. One is getting lighter and has almost no tail compared to the other (pictured on the right and in the front). Any help appreciated!

Both barred birds are pullets. I think the production red is also a pullet, but a free standing profile picture would help with gender ID.

Look like pullets to me but I'm no expert. They just look a lot like my RIR and BR hens.

On a side note, I love how BR always look like they are grumpy.

The first Rhode Island Red looks like a pullet, but we need fullbody pictures of the second one.

Both Barred Rocks are pullets.

They are the same bird!

I think you were asking more about breed on the barred birds. You are correct that pure barred rocks should have yellow legs, and crisper bars. Where did you get your birds? They might just not be perfect for breed standards, they could be mixed with another breed, or the mix up could be that they are coocoo Marans which have white legs and are faster feathering.

I thought about Cuckoo Marans as well but these birds have slate legs so that’s wrong for that too. They could be mixes for sure.

Those are definitely hens. Your reddish hen looks just like my Cindy (hen) did! No rooster relocating to do!!
