Please help sex these barred rock chicks (8 weeks)

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

They maybe black sex-link cockerels, since these are all single barred.
Thanks everyone for the replies!
Someone in my area needed them gone and messaged me. He was told they were barred rock. So that’s the extent of my knowledge on their history. None of them have feathered legs.
 
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 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.

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 took a video but I guess I can’t upload that?
I guess I’ll find out in a few weeks when the pointed neck and tail feathers come in. I’m really just curious as to what breed they actually are if they’re not barred rocks. 😂🤦🏻‍♀️
