Boys or girls?

In April I received 8 chickens from Mypetchicken. I ordered all females, at least I hope. A couple of months ago a friend gave me his 3 Barred Rocks that he was unable to keep at his new house. He got these 3 from TSC in February. In the last three day I have started to wonder about the sex of 2 of them. Hopefully the pics are good enough. Thank you.

Kinda bad pictures ^^; but they look a lot like rooster to me ^^

Need better pics, sorry, although the Barred Rock looks like a pullet.

At 5 months old, pullets are supposed to have red combs. The Barred Rock is probably a pullet. I need a better picture of the RIR.

With that dark barring, the Barred Rock on top is a pullet. That bright red comb and wattles means that she is close to laying. The pic is blurry, but I'm thinking the Production Red in the bottom pic is a cockerel. A clear full body profile would be nice though.

Agree the barred Rock looks female and the red looks male, but we need a better pic of the red.

Both reds look like pullets.

Both reds look like pullets.

I agree. The new profile pic of the PR makes a big difference.
