Just brought home these Barred Rocks yesterday. They are supposedly 8 week old pullets. Do you agree they look female? I have zero experience sexing BRs.

The two on the left seem definitely to be cockerels - with a strong maybe same for the one on the right.

But I really don't think they're 8 weeks, or else they're way behind on feathering, size, etc. so maybe they had a rough start. Pic is of my 8 week old BR. They look more like about 4 weeks, to me.

If they are younger, the one on the right *maybe* has some time to grow into that comb. Mine grew a bigger comb than my other two different breed chicks, but the comb stopped growing and her head grew into it. I was very worried for some time. But I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be a cockerel, too.

But also noticing that the one on the right doesn't looks like it has yellow legs, so might be a different breed altogether? Maybe cuckoo marans?
