Barred Plymouth Rocks... hens or roos?

[KealakekuaChick]

5 Week old Barred Rocks that I purchased straight run. What do you think? The one with more white ( and yellow legs) may have a slightly larger comb. It is also a little more feisty compared to the darker one ( with black on legs) who jumps up onto my lap and lays down all the time.

I have 7 Barred rock, all were supposed to be females, some are lighter and still female but I ended up with 1 male and he is lighter. They are 3 1/2 months now and he has a red comb and waddles. I was worried frost might be a male to but still peachy yellow comb no big waddles, oh and was worried Ursala may be a male because she is the biggest, but peachy yellow comb no big waddles. Hope I only have the 1 male as I have 2 other roosters. Hope that helps!

1 is a pullet 2 is a cockerel

I believe a reliable way to tell is that the pullets have the black markings on their feet and cockerels do not on Barred Rocks.
