Barred Rock Hens? - 5 weeks

[purplecrayon60]

Hoping we have hens but not upset if they aren't. First photo of them is when they were 2 weeks old, the rest is at 5 weeks. Any input is welcome. Only one would cooperate for the close-ups.

They look like hens from what I can tell. It's hard to see the combs on the chicks, other than the close-up.

They're both pullets.

Too early too tell, but so far, pullet. Nothing really screams rooster.

For a PBR, a cockerel will have noticeably wider white bars than a pullet. These are little pullets.

I have a barred rock and they look just like her, so pullets.

Yay! Thanks for the input. Good to know. The two PBRs have drastically different personalities. One runs right up to us, the other stays back & keeps to itself.

I'm fairly positive our EE is a pullet as well. She doesn't have much of a comb & is more plump overall. Our Leghorn, on the other hand, is looking all roo to me (larger comb, pointed saddle feathers).

Hi, here are some pics I took last year which show the difference between a cockerel and pullet at this age.
