Are these barred rocks roos?

[my3jsons]

I ordered one barred rock rooster and they sent two, but now I'm wondering if I have three.

These two look alike and are lighter in color than the other barred rocks.

Here they are individually...

And then there is this one. It is not feathering out like all the rest. It truly has bare spots all over. It's wings are much smaller than all the other 22 chicks, but is really long and tall. I'm starting to think it is not normal. And I'm wondering if it is a rooster.

Here it is with another barred rock to compare feathers.

See how naked it is! It has two rows of feathers about 1/4 inch wide on it's chest and that is it.

They all appear to be roos, as for his feathering, at that age they get all scruffy while their feathers are coming in and replacing their fluff, so the bare patches should fill in

I agree, looks like Roos, although I heard that hens feather out much faster than roos, and check out the comb past the line of the eyes seems to be a roo.
Where did you get a bunch of roosters ?
Someone give them to you ?
Hope you did not intend to buy hens.

That means I ordered 20 hens and 1 rooster and McMurray sent me 19 hens and 11 roosters!

Good grief, I already offloaded 7 of those roosters.

All roos

I would say all roos too. But Rocks can be a little misleading at this age, I've gotten it really wrong with mine before. But yours are pretty convincingly roos.

Yep, looks like roos to me!! As far as the feathering goes, they all go through what I call "The Vulture" look...

I have some that are the same age and feathering at different stages also!! Just something they go through!!

if they are roos they would have had white spots on they're heads when they were chicks.
