at the feed store where i bought my chickens.... they plopped 2 CaliforniaGreys and two Barred Plymouth Rocks...
They looked exactly alike to me! so I figured when they grew up I would tell them apart and here I am almost 7 weeks and still I can not tell them a part... can anyone help me

the two up front are the bigger birds
 
Okay, I am pretty sure that the one right front is a Barred Rock, left front is a California Grey. Back left is a Rock, back right is a Grey. Generally, California Greys (hence the word gray) are a bit lighter in their coloration than Barred Rocks. Also, my Barred Rock pullets also have a bit of blacks on their beaks, and two of yours do also, so I made that distinction.
