Please ID my chicks!

These are 3 of my 6 week old chicks and all I know is that they are brown egg layers. I am guessing that I have at least one Rhode Island Red, but the others may be Buff Orpington, Golden Buff, or something else. Also, they are all supposed to be hens, but I wonder if one of my Barred Rocks is a rooster. When/how can I tell?

They look like Red Sex link and Rhode Island Red.

The dark red is a production red and the red and whites are red sex links. These look like pullets as their combs are small and still yellow. If you have a comb starting to turn red at 6 weeks, you may be looking at a cockerel. With Barred Rocks, males will be lighter in color. Post a pic and we can help you out!
