help! was I lied to?

Your white bird is a rooster, and he may be a Leghorn still. However, the black/off colored feathers in him make me think he is a leghorn mix instead. Your red hens are Red Sex-Links, not production reds or Rhode Island Reds. I'd need better photos of your barred birds in order to tell you what sex/breed they are.

They do appear to be Barred Rocks. And I'm thinking that the bird in the second photo is a cockerel.
I'm kinda hoping he is a roo! I love the crowing and where I live I could have all the roosters I want :-) I'm glad the rocks are real. Also the red sex links are so friendly and welcoming. It's like they know I'm probably more nervous than they are and have been real eager to get petted and are eating out of my hand! Thanks again
 
I see two red sex link pullets, two hatchery quality barred Rock pullets, and I'm really undecided on that white bird. I'm not seeing anything screaming rooster about it, looks more like a point of lay pullet. It's not pure Leghorn, it would be white and much sleeker looking. I think it's a mixed breed, possibly one of the Leghorn-based hybrids that have become so popular lately.

thanks for your input! Honestly I hope it's a he. But I just want to be sure so I can name it accordingly :-P
