Any guesses on the polish above?

I can't see their faces well enough. The pictures are a bit dark. Can you get some pics of the face close up. One straight on and one profile?

Aww this is tough. It may just be a bit early. The crest say boy but the wattles don't seem very red. Do either of them have little horns started yet? Is one bigger then the other? My roo seems to stand a little taller almost like he is challenging me when I put my hand in the pen. These are some things that helped me. you may have said already but how old are they?

Boys on all three? The golden laced stands tall, but the others really don't. The little houdan seems to like people and is pretty mellow. I thought they were 4 1/2 weeks but them turned 4 weeks yesterday. I tried to sex them at 1 day old.

Oh and wattles and combs aren't red at all.

Oh and wattles and combs aren't red at all.

For now I'd say all pullets. I know comb isn't completely reliable but my roo is about 4 weeks and his wattles are dark red already and he is acting just like a rooster. Yours don't seem to dark in the pics. Give it a few more weeks to be sure. You can also try the polish thread. They probably have more experience for the breed.

Thanks! I truly hope they're all pullets.

I hope you're right..."girl" in question is my favorite one....pictured second from left in bottom photo. She appears to have beginnings of wattles and a pinker comb than the others, but she is the mellowest of the bunch. Also, her tail feathers look a little different to me, but I didn't get a photo of them yet- I'll try tomorrow.

I agree all pullets. Have a quick gander at https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1047803/barred-rock-late-bloomer-or-rooster/20 in post 22. Madisan was awesome and sent me pics of her baby BR boy and girl. (and she posted updated pics later in the thread too)
