When you look at them all together, you can see that some look darker, while others look light and have considerably more white. The light looking ones are your cockerels and the dark looking ones are your pullets

All look like pullets to me.

Are you sure they are barred rock? They look EXACTLY like my cuckoo marans pullets did at that age. Couldn't tell from the photos if their legs are yellow or white (pinkish white) base color.

But barred rock pullets usually have stronger barring. And pretty bright yellow legs.

If they are cuckoo marans, that is a very cool breed. We love ours. They take a bit longer to lay, but you get medium to dark brown eggs...we get one apiece almost every day from each of our ladies.

But I would guess all pullets. A teeny bit of variation is normal. Males are pretty significantly lighter - and are usually sexed out at birth since they are born with different color feathers.

They have yellow legs, which Cuckoo Marans do not.

I couldn't tell if it was yellow legs or yellow lighting.
