Male or female Barred OEGBs?

[Alexandra33]

We were hoping for a male or two in this bunch.....however, while I'm no expert when it comes to evaluating head spots, it seems they might all be pullets. Only 4 out of 5 are pictured.

Nonetheless, they're still adorable.

I will be ZERO help in distinguishing between males and females but I do have a question. Why does that one stripey chick have orange marked on its head? You sure do have a bunch of cutie patooties!

Can you get pics of their legs..? I'd say they're all cockerels, I'm not seeing a very define spot on their heads.

So CUTE Alex!

So sweet....I shall tell them you said so!

Here are a few more pictures showing all 5 Barreds' head spots.

For reference, one of last year's Barred OEGB females:

I will get some leg shots, @MillersFarm .

Oh ok thx! That is nice so you can know what breed is what. And you're welcome! They are just precious and I love their little peep peep peeps. I can't wait to get mine in March.

You're more than welcome! Exactly, very helpful in distinguishing colors.

There's certainly a lot of peeping going on! Counting down the days, right?

Also, pretty sure this little one is Spangled, but just wanted to run it past you guys. Certainly significantly darker than the other 11.
