Are these chicks jersey giants? Can they even come in barred? PICS

Most likely the Black Sex-Link Cockerel to go with your Black Sex-Link Pullet in your other post here https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=417883

Looks like Barred rock pullet that i have.

They look sleepy

Look like barred rocks to me! Have a blessed day Nancy

Barred Rock or a Maran. Update us as they get older!

Okay,

1) Cuckoo Marans do not have grey legs

2) Jersey Giants do not come in barred

3) Barred Rocks can have grey legs if from hatchery quality, but. . .

4) Chris09 is right. It's a Sexlink cockerel.

They look like our marans

Those are NOT Jersey Giants. NO WAY. No, they dont come barred, unless someone cross bred, and even then they wouldnt look like that. Yours look like Marans, maybe Cuckoo Marans? One of them looks like a roo for sure- big comb and up pointing tail feathers always say roo to me with my chicks that age, but I could be wrong

Feed store employees often have NO clue what they are selling, they just wanna move birds.

If they can't be Marans, then it is a Barred Rock. Yes, the girls get comb development earlier than other breeds, or at least they can. But the spot on the top of the head is an indicator too if it is a BR cockerel. For your sake, I hope it is not unless you want one.
