How old are my barred rocks?

[Nevermore]

This is all of them have close ups if needed trying to figure out when they will lay or crow

I'd say the 3 larger ones are 2-3 months old, and the smaller one (with the fuzzy head) is about a month old.
the largest one that is darker looks like it may be a Cuckoo Marans, not a Barred Rock. They usually are darker and have muddier barring, they also have white/pink legs, BRs have yellow legs.

the smallest chicks looks like it may be a cockerel, but the larger 3 are pullets

Oh okay thank you would that mean they should lay in a month or so?
Here's a pic of the darker one

And the smallest one

 

[farmerChef]

They can lay as early as 4 months, but they usually start 5-6 months, unless they are hybrid production layers.



It almost looks like it has a beard?? Not a barred rock, Most likely a Marans, although if it does have a beard, it could be an Olive Egger, but since it has a single comb, its not likely to lay olive eggs, just dark brown ones.

Chicken 3 the one farthest from the camera

Chicken 2 the one in the middle of the group

Awesome I think??? So you think all but 1 is a pullet?

 

[farmerChef]

Yes, I think the smallest may be a rooster.

Also, those 3 are Dominiques, not Barred Rocks, they are rose combs

Thanks anyone else have any ideas would Ike to get as much knowledge as possible

They all look like mixed breed barred birds to me, the barring, leg color, combs and body type just look all over the place to me. I think they're around 2 months old, so 3 more months for eggs. The lightest/smallest one looks male, the others you can't really tell by color as I don't think they're pure barred birds.
