Hi,
I have a bunch of Barred Rock boys and girls (all about 17 weeks old), some of them I am pretty sure of what they are, but there are a few I am not sure and I am looking for a "confirmation". ...

We think she is a girl....

That is a tough one. The Roo is definately a roo. The other one still not sure. The color would say pullet, but the comb and wattle might be a boy. What do the front of the legs look like?
 
Both the first and second ones are male, but the second one is not a pure BR..that is a black sexlink cockerel. The first one may also be a BSL, but the second is very obvious with the way-too-silvery-white barring. Both have the stringy saddle feathers, a dead giveaway. Sorry, no BR girls in those pics!
 
ALL BOYS....

when all fails you have to trust your guts, the boys will act like boys, they will behave like boys...girls are tame and quite shy...those are boys, look at their posture,
