Barred Rocks - Gender?

[aceschix]

#1

I think I know the answer to this one, but no crowing???


#2

#3

My Big Barred Rock roo is much darker than all of these guys, so the lighter for roos rule is just not working here.

Thoughts?

1. Rooster
2. Hen
3. Not 100% positive, but I think rooster.

#1 is a definite rooster. #2 & #3 I think are hens but it would help to know age, and also to see photos from more of a profile, as I can't make out the hackle feathers in these photos. Also, I can see a couple of feathers in each of the tails that appear to curve a little but from this angle I can't see the whole tail. If the tail looks like a fantail, then hen. But if there are pointy saddle feathers in front of the tail and the tails feathers curve back a lot, then rooster.

1 - Rooster

2 - Hen
3 - Need profile pic but I'd say it's a hen -

Are they all the same age?

All of them are cockerels.

I am with Rodriguezpoultry. Those all look like roosters to me also.

First one is a rooster
Second one is a hen probably your dominant hen
Third is a rooster I saw some where spurs come in
