Just wanting to make sure of gendar

[Laura lim]

Im still new to chickens. My very fist chicks I have ever owned are now 5 months old. I just want to be positive they are hens. No crowing or eggs yet. But the bar rock with the bigger comb fights my roo. The bigger combed ones tail is different to. Just wanting to make sure. Was told both were female when I got them at three weeks old

You have a hen saddle on a rooster, the first one.

Both look like pullets. But, if you want to be absolutely sure, take a closeup picture of their saddle feathers.

First one is defiantly a rooster.

Hens don't have saddle feathers.

I don't see any saddle feather on this BR. But I'm new and may not know exactly what I'm looking for. So here are some more pictures

Look at the hackles on that boy! There are saddle feathers in that first photo too. The huge comb is a dead give away as well.

In my signature follow my link to pictures of some of my birds. Halfway down or better is last year's barred rock rooster at about the same age as yours for your comparison.
