I think you actually have black sex link cockerels. Do all the chicks have the same color legs as the first one?

I hatched these...they are Barred Rocks

All of them have some variation of those legs

Yea some other opinions would help. @BastyPutt @fluffycrow and @Chipmunk Chicks what do you think.

The leg color does not look consistent with BR. I have no experience with BSL males, but if they are BSL I believe they are cockerels. If they are cuckoo marans, the last one might be a pullet.

Legs look like my hatchery barred rocks did....
I bought them from a breeder...so I'll be highly pissed off if they aren't barred rocks. Hatched eggs to get cockerels...Barred rock cockerels....

Bought 16, hatched 5, have 3....

Whatever....ill eat em if they aren't BRs...
