Are these Barred Hollands?

[Murmil]

My classroom was given these two as Barred Holland Pullets. As you can see, one is not a pullet. How can I be sure they are Barred Hollands? I have included a couple of pictures of the hen.

I'm going to follow along. I just hatched some barred hollands--but can't tell them apart from Barred Rock. Hope to learn something here.

Red earlobes mean they are Barred Rocks. Hollands have white earlobes.

And the first picture is a cockerel.

Hollands are supposed to have red earlobes but lay white eggs. What color eggs is the female producing?

Thanks I had no idea how to tell them apart. Now I do... Mine have white earlobes

She is not laying yet.

Yes, it is a roo. They sold it to me as a pullet. I was excited when I realized I had a roo and a pullet. We are hoping they are both Hollands so we can raise some babies.

You've obviously got a pair. They could very well be Barred Hollands. You'll know for sure when she lays. White eggs = Barred Holland, brown eggs = Barred Rock.
