I'm back with some pictures of two of my other chicks. The verdict on my barred chicks was 3 roos, 0 pullets 🤣😅
Background info:
4 week old barnyard mixes from RIR or Barred Rock roos and RIR, BO or Barred Rock hens (I also saw one or two white chickens with red comb there so maybe leghorn?)
Now wondering about these two (Two pics of each, numbered 1 and 2)
Excuse #1's raggedy feathers, she? got ganged up on early and was pretty bald on her back and neck but is doing much better!

I think they both are pullets...thank goodness because my other 4 (of six) are all roosters 🐓 🤪
Here's big legs 😉

Disagree, Big Legs looks like a pullet. I don't see any sickle feathers in the tail and the saddle feathers are all broad and round, not skinny and pointy like rooster saddle feathers. The hackle feathers don't look particularly pointy to me either.
 
Agreed, Big Legs is a pullet. No pointed male feathers, comb is still small, and she's got the female pattern. Male BSL are barred.
I think she's a pullet. My three "barred rock pullets" turned out to be BSL roosters so that tipped me more in the direction of her being a BSL pullet. 🤞🏼
