OK so I have BO, RIR and Barred Rocks in the same coop. Plan was to get sex links with the RIR and BR but never got them separted yet. So I just hatched 40 of this coops eggs and I am trying to figure out who is whose. HELP! Any ideas on the sex of the black ones?

Give them a month and you will see who is who. I would guess that the all buff colored are the BOs, the Black with white on them are BRs and the others are either you RIR or SL.
As for gender, it is way too early. The BRs are easy to tell from the comb in just a few days to a couple of weeks.
Good luck. Any sunshine up there yet?
 
Just to clarify: I have 3 Buff Orp roosters and one RIR rooster in the coop with the Barred Rock and Buff Orp hens.
My choices are:
RIR roo x BO
RIR x BR
BO roo x BO
BO roo x BR
Anyone have a pic of a RIR roo over a BO hen or any of these other combos?

I don't know if anyone does.
But from the matches I would guess
Pic 1--RIR x BR
pic 2--BO x BR
Pic 3--RIR x BR
Pic 4--BO/RIR x BR---could have been either breed but looks like a BR
Maybe
