I have 10 wk old Barred Rocks. Having a hard time trying to figure out what they are for sure. I am guessing 1 Roo and 1 Pullet. All my other breeds are fairly easy to tell.

They kind of look a little roo-ish to me, but I’m not an expert so take that with a couple grains. Here is a pic of mine from last year around 9 weeks and her comb is a little smaller and less red than yours. I’ve also read that barred rock Roos are more white than black, and yours look like they could be more white, but again, I’m not well versed here.

I think you are right now that you mentioned the bars. I change my vote to cockerel.
 
Those look like two cockerels to me. My BR is 12 weeks and doesn't have a comb anything like that, I'm afraid. She looks almost exactly like @Whigru's bird.

Yours also very light colored, which usually means cockerel.
