My Barred Rocks 4wks old hens????????

As my chicks are getting older I think I may have lucked out and got all 6 females but can you tell at all from these pictures? They are 4weeks today.

I don't see any that are cockerels. Barred Rock cockerel this age should be much lighter than pullets.

That's what I thought nobody is sticking out as drastically lighter

You may have gotten lucky. There isn't a lot of detail in the photos, but what I see looks good. Dark legs, no red in the combs, and all are the same color. They are feathered nicely. At this point, the cockerels would likely start to look lighter than the pullets.

I'm hoping I would be able to see a cockerel by now. I do have 2 with light feet but all have dark legs. Everyone's combs seem to be about the same size. I will try to get better pictures in awhile

Hmmmm I do see that 2 of them are getting red at the base of their combs

Pullets... at this point cockerels would be easily spotted

I'm hoping so. Should I be worried that a couple are already getting red coloring at the base of their combs or is this the right time for pullets to start turning red as well?
