Hens or Roos???

[coastingangel]

So these guys are 2 months old, usually I have no trouble determing if they are hens by this age but these guys a bit of a mystery. Hatched Barnvelders at the same time and the Roos are already trying to crow. So what do you think?

I've had pretty good luck sexing hatchery barred rocks at a day old based on head spot and leg color. A little less luck on guessing by hire the feathering comes in around 3-6 weeks. What breed are yours? Without my glasses those combs are throwing me off. Beautiful barring by the way!

Thanks, they are Plymouth Barred Rock.

Based on colour they look like all males. Female barred chickens are darker

All three are cockerels, based on the barring and the red faces on all three. They may not be crowing if they're not dominant. You're barnie may be more dominant than these three.
