Yes, I think you're right. Besides the obvious large, red combs - I'm seeing a male barred rock feather pattern. Males have tighter bars with more white than black. Females have more irregular bars with more black than white.

Barred rocks tend t have large combs anyway even the pullets. You MAY have a couple pullets. Far left looks possibly female and one, maybe two on the right. But you can’t really tell until those saddle feathers come in. They look just like my rooster Ernie that I got a couple of years ago at Atwood’s. He is such a good rooster.
 
Thanks so Much! I've been lurking for a few years but finally got my own flock going this year! Apparently we are having lots of meat birds 😂 thanks for your responses

That's what got me the most is that they are all very light
