I had received my order back in February and received extras for warmth. I originally assumed that they were Black Sex Links. I have never had Black Sex Links in the past and I knew that they had Barring similar to a Barred Rock. But looking at them more closely these last couple of days, I am pretty sure they are Barred Rocks and that two of them might actually be pullets. Take a look and give me your opinion.

SpeckledHen - No these are not your babies already.

#1 - Barred Rock Roo

#2 - Barred Rock Hen?

we have 22 barred rocks & they never looked that dark,, we could always see their bars,, the ones you have there dont look like they have much white in them.

this just shows they can be so dark the white doesnt show up till later but it will show up
 
I have 2, well just one now because I sold one today along with an EE. Mine both looked exactly like chick #3. They came from the hatchery as sexed pullets. The folks here said they were pullets when I posted pics last week. I agreed, but I wanted confirmation before listing them for sale as pullets.
 
1 is a roo for sure and the others are hens. i have many of these and mine look the same! congrats on 2 hens!
