roo vs hen Barred rocks

[inmychickenmomera]

Hi guys! New chicken mom here and starting our little suburban homestead! We have 6 10 week old fluff butts (3 Rhode Island Reds and 3 Barred Rocks). I specifically got pullets on the Reds, but the Barred Rocks were mixed. I know I have one roo and one hen. I can’t figure out if the third one is a roo or a hen! At first we thought she was a roo, but then started thinking she was a hen. Now, at 10 weeks, I’m thinking she’s a hen? Also noticed that she has a lot of brown starting to pop out vs the other two. I have some pictures to help! The first one is the one we can’t figure out! The second pic is the roo, and the third our hen! Thank you guys!

They look super happy. Got a nice clean coop, and fresh clovers. They may reward you with eggs soon!

RIRs and barred rocks are champion layers.

Black wash on legs says all pullets.

The first two are most definitely cockerels, and the last one is a pullet.

Also, the Rhode Island red on the right in the middle picture is showing what looks to be male specific feathering. I would double check on the RIRs, too.

I would tend to agree, #1 I need a better full body pic, but the double barring and comb on #2 is a cockerel, #3 is a pullet.
