I have 4 Barred Rock supposed to be pullets. 3 are dark with light stopped and one or lighter then the others. I'm starting to think roo
This one is darker

this one is lighter

How old are they?

Hmmm, the light one is a lot lighter so it could be a cockerel but looking at the comb and wattles makes me think that it is a pullet. I guess I am not help so hopefully there are lots of other opinions to come.

Bumping this up on the list. Opinions needed!

It is a lot lighter, but as @JedJackson said, the comb and wattles look like it's a pullet.

Both pullets. By 4 weeks it's obvious who the boys are. I have noticed that hatchery BR are getting lighter.

That's so strange! But i guess comb and wattles come before color unless he/she could be a cockerel a bit late in development? But by 10 weeks it should be clear that he/she is most likely a pullet.

For comparison, this is a 13 week old cockerel. He was obvious at 3 weeks.
