Male or female

Can someone tell me if my Buffs are hens or not? I think the Barred Rock is a rooster, but I'm not terribly sure.

The Buffs.

The barred rock is definitely a rooster. Pretty sure most of the buffs are hens. That's just what they look like to me but I'm positive

Everyone looks female to me. A better pic of the barred bird would confirm, but I'm not seeing any rooster traits from that pic. Looks like she should be laying literally any day now.

Thanks. I actually found a brown egg in a nest this morning(which is the color a buff would lay, right?). I figured the Buffs were both hens, and even from a young age thought the Barred Rock was male.

All hens.

The barred rock and buffs look like they are all female to me. The barred rock and buffs should all lay brown eggs I believe.

How old are they?

They are about 5 to six months.

I think you can expect a lot more brown eggs to start coming within the next few weeks.
