Dont' be sorry, but what makes you say that? In my reading and looking at pictures, it seems that barred rocks, both male and female have large combs and waddles. Is there something in particular telling you that they are all male?

The barred rocks are pretty easy to sex at this age because of their coloring, the combs and wattles and the color of their feet. Roosters are lighter or have more white while pullets are darker or have more black. Roosters have yellow legs and feet sometimes with a light shading washed over them, the pullets have yellow legs and feet with lots of black shading washed over them. Roosters have large red combs and wattles (not waddles) and pullets do not. See my BRs below.

I appologize for my spelling errors, as I stated in my intro that i'm one of the worlds worst speeelllers. Just something about the 2 i have makes me wonder. Why is it that i have found pictures and info pages and they show and state that the hens do have large combs and waTTles? I'm just unsure because I read all the information I can find and it tells me one thing, then everyone here seems to say something else. I am only questioning 2 of my birds, the other 4 i'm certain they are roos. SO for now, i'll keep the 2 in question and the other 4 are going to a new home. I appreciate the information and the help. Picture below was 1 of the ones i found of a hen with waTTles there are tons to look at but it's early and well..i've been up forever already.

OK, I stand corrected. Barred Rock hens have large combs and wattles, just not as large as the roosters.
