Bought these a couple weeks ago, supposed to be hens about 15 wks old. I'm not really sure, especially about 1 of them.

this is my sick Barred Rock

They may be all hens. EEs sometimes have feathers that look pointy around their necks, but if you get up close and look, you can see that it's just the coloring of the feather making it look that way. If they are 15wks, I don't see any combs that would make me think "roo". I would also say the one BR you say is sick, is either quite old or not really a BR. BRs should not have white legs and feet.
 
Well, she ain't laying yet. If shes not a BR, what is she? I have noticed her feet are lighter than the other, but besides that they are identical.
 
I hope they are all hens.... I really do not want a rooster right now. I will have to get rid of them.
 
The BR in the 1st pic could be a cross.

I have a BR crossed with Blue Andalusion that loks like it, even down to the spotting on the legs and leg color.
