can anyone tell me what breed my hen is?

Can you get a side shot of the base of the tail area to make sure, thats one of the more important parts to look at for male vs female.

It's still difficult to tell on your barred rock but if you're seeing the same thin, long, pointed feathers on the back above the tail that drape to either side (those are saddle feathers) like you see on your SLW rooster and the one in the second photo then it's definitely a rooster. If the feathers are rounded and tight against the body, you would have a pullet. You would also see pointed and loose feathers around the neck (those are hackle feathers) on a male and rounded and tight to the body on a female.
 
****. Guess I'll know for sure when they either start crowing or laying lol
