Baby chick breeds

Here are the 2 groups with similar markings.

The left group are Easter Eggers, right group likely Cuckoo Marans or Barred Rocks

Thank you! They are all such calm chicks. I look forward to watching them grow.

I don't own BRs but can you sex by head spots? Is that a myth?

1 Barred Rock, & 2 Easter Eggers.

So I got 2 chicks right... I might be getting better!

I think that they can be sexed by the white marking on their head. I was told the bin was all pullets so fingers crossed.

Headspots have become a none reliable sexing method.

I sex by leg color, which has been very accurate so far.

Males have orange legs with little to no dark wash.

Females have dark legs with dark wash, or just dark legs with a small amount of dark wash.

I think there is still some question on if these are definitely BR. They were not labeled at TSC but I was told the bin was all pullets. Any thoughts?

Barred Rock Cockerels. Leg color points to cockerel.

Barred Rock Cockerels.

Please tell me you are joking!
