Barred Rock and Buff Orpington Roo?

[FitzFarmstead]

Don't know if this is helpful, but here are my Barred Rock pullets at 10 weeks old. Not much red comb and wattle action going on with them.

Yeah, this does help. Ours have always been much lighter and I read that’s a sign of roo also.

Barred rocks look like pullets. BR roos have more white than black bars.

With pointed saddle feathers??!

Your Barred Rocks are cockerels. The big red combs + lighter/more white barring are the big indicators. Agree with others too that your BOs are cockerels as well.

Not what I was hoping to hear, but I appreciate all the help!

Okay friends, hoping for better news with this bunch. 2 jersey giants, 2 gold laced wyndotte and 3 bantams. Hens or Roos?

The two I have circled are possible cockerels. I have not the most familiar with their breeds, so can't be sure though.
All the others look like pullets!

Thank you!

Hey Friends, posting some updated photos of the laced wyndottes and jersey giants, hoping they still look like pullets… thoughts?

Really hoping we have layers in this group. Not only did all 6 last batch end up as Roos, our neighbors dog killed one of our Americanas tonight.

Hello!

We purchased a straight run set of 3 BR and 3 Buff Orpingtons. About 4 weeks ago one of the buffs started crowing. None of the others have and are 15 weeks old. How ever in my opinion they all look like Roosters.

Can someone please help identify if my rocks and buffs are male?

This one in the front does not crow however the one behind it is the confirmed roo.

How old is the one that is crowing ?
