Hens or roosters?

What sex are they? They are barred rock and white cochin mixed about 6 months old.

I think cockerels, but it could go either way. Clear, close up photos of the shoulders and saddle areas would enable us to check for male specific feathering. May be difficult to see on such a pale bird but worth a shot.

At six months old, those look like full-grown hens, who should be laying eggs by now.

Was the barred rock the mom or dad?

To me I think they're point of lay pullets.

Agree with pullet

Yes, I meant pullet, sorry. Honestly though, those aren’t cockerels. By now, a cockerel would have giant saddle feathers and long tail feathers. Of course, in the photo it’s pretty hard to see the tail…I’m still going with pullet.
