Combs look like cockeral, but birds are single barred. OP where did you get your birds? Do you know their breed or was barred rock a guess?

I recently got these 6 barred rock chicks. They’re 8 weeks old. I’ve been trying to figure out how to sex them but I’m just getting more confused the more I read. Here’s some pictures, they all look very similar so I’m think I might have all Roos. It’s not a big deal if they are as I plan on eating the Roos and keeping any hens as
Thanks everyone for the replies!They maybe black sex-link cockerels, since these are all single barred.
I was just told they were 8 weeks old and barred rock. The guy that had them changed his mind about them and needed them gone. I took them since barres rock make good meat birds so if they don’t lay they’ll be great in the freezer.Combs look like cockeral, but birds are single barred. OP where did you get your birds?

All but one has yellow legs, one has slightly thinner legs and pink.Not Dominiques. Those have rose combs not single combs. Possibly Cuckoo Marans? Is they have pink legs not yellow? But definitely all boys.
Hmm interestingAll but one has yellow legs, one has slightly thinner legs and pink.
Okay I got some better pictures. Some with flash to better show the barring. There’s 2 that have much redder combs and some waddles already, they’re also bigger so they’re definitely Roos. I think the one with the paler legs who is also the smallest might be a female? Idk. I’ve only had chickens for 1.5 years now.I recently got these 6 barred rock chicks. They’re 8 weeks old.

It’s not a big deal if they are as I plan on eating the Roos and keeping any hens as layers.

So you think they’re all males as well?They are probably black-sex links that were made using barred rock hens.
