How to tell if chicks are roo or hen?
do males have barred feathers?

You are correct. Males have barred feathers. Females are black.

What about the white spot on head ?

The white spot means that it’s barred. Since males are barred then a chick with a white spot on its head is a male. No white spot means female since girls are not barred.

Is the one in the 3rd photo getting barred feathers? Looks like all boys.
