Hi! My wife and I are first time chicken owners. We bought 8 barred rock pullets from a local feed store in Michigan (they purchase from Townline Hatchery in Zeeland MI).
Our chicks are about 5 weeks old now and we think 4 out of the 8 are roosters. 4 chicks are noticeably lighter, have larger/darker red combs/wattles.
Looking at the pictures, what do you think? Did we actually get 4 roosters??
