Hen or cocks??? barred rock help!!

[genova]

hello! i purchased 7 barred rock chicks day old. they are about 11 weeks old now. all have comb and wattles except one very black one. are they all cocks except the dark one??

The dark one is definitely a hen.

 

[genova]

The dark one is definitely a hen.

would you say the rest of the barred look to be male?

 

[JadeFarms]

Any saddle feathers?

You only have one barred pullet. The lighter ones are definitely male.

Are you gonna keep 1 or get rid of them all, or what are you doing with them?

I agree, I believe all the lighter ones are cockerels
