Thanks for the warm welcome - I love this forum. It's such a great resource for us "new Moms".

PunkinPeep, what is barring?

Barring is the horizontal "stripes" on the feathers.​

Thanks "the lisser". What sex do you think they are?

The last two are females for sure. So far the others also look like females, but 7 weeks is still pretty early to tell. By 10 weeks you would probably see the start of shiny saddle feathers on the lower back if they are males.

Here's a link to info about sex-link chickens - I've found it very helpful. img/smilies/smile.png" alt="smile" />">http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGP/Sex-links/BRKSexLink.html

#1 looks like a Welsummer pullet to me. The others I don't have strong opinions on.
