Both of those are pullets. BRs do have yellow legs once they mature, but the pullets will have a much larger dark "wash" on the legs than the cockerels.

What about the different tail on the darker one though?I see 2 lovely ladies
Barred rock females also tend to have more of a dark wash on their feet than males I have heard.
They are 5 weeks oldMaybe it's just the lighting, but I thought Barred rocks had yellow legs. Can't see the color of the lighter bird's legs too well, but the darker one has some greenish/slate legs going on! Lovely birds, regardless.
ETA: How old are these birds?
Ah, that explains the leg color. I was definitely confused. Learn something new every day!Both of those are pullets. BRs do have yellow legs once they mature, but the pullets will have a much larger dark "wash" on the legs than the cockerels.
At 5 weeks both look female...tho the darker one is a bit redder and that may pop out in comb and wattles the next couple weeks.They are 5 weeks old
Yes I’m positiveThe leg color on the darker one looks white or pinkish. Are you sure that’s not a cuckoo marans pullet?
