No. None of them can be pullets. Cockerels are white with black stripes, and pullets are black with white stripes. These are all white with black stripes, which means cockerel.

Next time when choosing BR's look for the white circle on their head to be as round as possible, usually males have a more oval or misshapen patch.

However, don't write every one of them off. I had one appear to be a roo at a young age (more white than black, thinner barring, etc), then she feathered out completely and it was clear she was a hen.

You can try posting in the rehoming forum, hope you can find places for them.

Barred rocks are black based birds with white barring. The males have thicker barring and the females thinner. There's no white with black stripes / black with white stripes.

Not on the birds I've seen. Whenever I see a BR, I see males with black stripes, and females with white stripes.

All look like boys to me! It's the luck of the draw sometimes. I ended up with 5 hens and 2 roosters out of my straight run barred rocks this year.
