4 day barred rocks gender opinions?

Sexing Barred Plymouth Rock chicks is pretty darn accurate. The photos don't show much is all. Need to see the legs and spot of each chick.

Way too young - every thing in life isn't INSTANT . Wait 6-8 weeks of age and submit new photos.

Look at the legs of BR's, or post photos. The dark wash legs will be pullets. The yellow legs males. That's really the most accurate of the two methods of head spot and legs. By your photo there is one chick with a huge splotchy head spot and one with a very small head spot. One could say the large spot is male and small female but head spot sexing is iffy. To confirm that you'd look at the legs, the large spot bird should have all yellow legs and that would confirm cockerel. The smallest spot bird should have dark wash on front of legs to confirm pullet. It's the two birds with spots in middle that would be tricky to sex. You'd check the leg wash and size of legs. If minimal greying and thicker legs then cockerel. And so on. It comes down to judgement of all three things- spot (worst indicator unless very small), Amount of dark wash on legs and size of legs. You'll be better than 85% accurate.

Day 5- Their legs all seem to be the same brown about half to 3/4 of the way to their toes, based on what iv been reading looks like I have males, but this lad or lady with the large spot on head has somewhat dark feet, the lad or lady with the smaller spot had brighter feet check out below

And that goes to show how poor head spots are for sexing. Those both are pullets.

all of the barred rocks look like pullets to me. the head spots to be boys there should be 2 separate spots. the reason it's hard to say 100% on just spots is sometimes it's hard to tell if it's just one spot or 2.

especially if they all have the black wash down their legs, and they have dark wing feathers too. they all look like girls. (To me.)
