barred easter egger?

[cmom]

I want to add some show quality Barred Rocks to my flock. I am looking at Good Shepherd Poultry Ranch . I made a contact at the Newnan Georgia Poultry Show with a fellow who has some Good Shepherd Poultry Ranch Barred Rock chicks.

Thank GOD I found this thread! I was at the local flea market a few weekends ago, and there was a man there that was selling chicks. He had a sign that said RIR, White Leghorn, and Araucana. The conditions of the cages they were in were very poor, and since I already had 43 chickens, I told him I would take the last 3 that were supposedly Araucanas. Well, needless to say, I lost one that same night. But the other two were confusing me, and still are. They are three weeks old now, but can anyone tell me if they think the Barred EE's are what I have? They both have the white spot on their head, and they both have the dark wash going down the front of their legs. The black and white one also has what looks to be some tufts coming out the side of it's face. Any ideas whether they are in fact Barred EE's, and what sex they are. I know it's very hard to tell right now, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a few pics of them when they were a few days old.....

And here's some of what they look like now.....

Here's the first one....


And here's the second one.....

I just hatched out a bunch of chicks like yours a month ago. They look identical. I have an easter egger rooster (see my avatar). I bread him over my barred rock hens. They turned out sex-linked. The guy that has a little barring and spot on the head is a male. The all black/grayish ones are females. All my females have a more pronounced beard than the males. They are turning out pretty cool. I will post pictures.

LOL!

The little brown one there in the back looks like he has a mohawk! That is too cute!

He actually does now. We have two polish. One has a round head and the other has a mohawk! Cracks me up.
