I hatched 3 barred Rock chicks and I think they are all roos but am not sure can anyone tell? Also the last chick was from the only light blue egg I recieved, supposed to be Americanas but I am not sure what do you think?

there's a possibility that chick #2 is a hen, the others are definitely roos

the 4th, I don't know, but from the size and lack of comb development I'll agree that it's a hen
 
I was really hoping I was wrong about the BR I guess I will be eating good in another 12 weeks lol. I am glad the ee is a hen, it was the only egg (other than my gimpy chick to hatch and it was the only blue egg in the bunch.) Hopefully it will lay blue eggs as well.
 
I had two I thought for sure were roos and so did a lot of others, then one day I saw them lay eggs. I wouldn't give up until I hear them crow or its really obvious.
