Those are pretty big for 3 weeks, are you sure they are 3 weeks old? I'm guessing roo if that's the real age! But i'm no expert.

Edited to add that I have 6 barred rock hens, I raised from chicks last year.

I'm no expert but those combs do look huge for that age...I'm sorry, that's probably not the news you were wanting to hear.

Some of your BRs have darker feathers with less white barring. Those could very well be pullets. Just hope for the best!

I don't have any experience with this breed, but I think you might have at least one or two pullets in the bunch. A few of the chicks combs look larger and pinker than a couple of the others, but it really is hard to tell at this age. Sorry. Unless you wanted lots of roos. Then congrats!!
