I’d wait a few more weeks for sec,but they look younger then four weeks,but I could be wrong,I haven’t had chicks in a minute.

It's early times, see about more pictures later.
Generally cockerels will have thicker legs and bigger combs that are 'redder' sooner.
Barred rock cockerels adult feathering is lighter in tone than pullets, but you can't see that yet.

I know chicks have lots of variables in growth rates. For comparisson, here is a picture of my barred rocks that turned for weeks old this last Wednesday (3/14). I'm inclined to believe that yours are not fully 4 weeks yet, but I only have mine to go by as a guide. Even though the picture might not show it the best, the one that is in focus (farthest back, closest to the wall) is what they all look like - they are all pretty evenly feathered if you can get them to stand next to each other - which you can't because they're little rocket runners unless they are feeding!

The light ones are boys and the dark ones are girls Taken at 4 weeks old.

Wow, there is a lot of white on the boys. This is a great reference picture. I'll have to try and take a snap when my three are together around the feeder. At four weeks, none of my three have near that amount of white. Based on this picture, and reading that the girls have more of a gray wash color on their feet (which all three of mine do) I'm thinking that I really did get three ladies. I'll try and grab a picture when I can and let others help confirm, but it does look promising.

@KWray - It's a bit early to be sure, but I think they're both males. The white bars on the feathers are pretty wide, the combs are already fairly prominent, and the legs are light in color.

Too young would you please post new photos at 8 weeks of age, when instead of guesses, you should get proper genders.
