Calling all Barred Rock sexing experts....

[lovin'6chicks]

I'm a new chick mama and I'm not sure of the sex of my barred rock babies. They are approximately 12-13 weeks old. Both color wise look similar. Both have the dark color down the fronts of their legs. Both have combs, but one is more bright red in color. One is also much larger, and the smaller of the two has different tail feathering at this point. I've scoped gender postings on Barred Rocks quite a bit, but I'm so new to this I'm just not sure. Can you guys help me learn?

This is Barred Rock #1

This is Barred Rock #1 also

This is Barred Rock #2.

If you can help I'd appreciate it! Thanks!

Both roosters.

they look like boys to me

The roos are whiter with black stripes, and the girls are blacker with white stripes. That's the easiest way to tell

Both are roosters.....

I would like to see a larger pic of the first one, but I do believe they are both cockerals. Here is a pic of a pullet and a cockeral. They pullet is the darker one.

Sorry. Definitely boys!

Absolutely, positively cockerels.

Thank you for your help! I guess now the hard task of choosing which one to keep and which to re-home starts!

AND now to find a nice Barred Rock pullet.....
