Hey guys! I purchased 5 barred rocks and 5 australorps from TSC on April 12th. This is my first chick experience, so it is my first time trying to determine genders.

I think they were between 1-1/2 and 2 weeks old when I brought them home, but I'm not 100% sure.

I have a pretty good guess on the barred rocks, but I am shooting in the dark on the australorps. I figured I'd post them here and see what y'all think.

I took the photos this evening, I apologise for poor quality, it was really hard to get the little buggers to hold still.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you @debid and @KikisGirls for helping me figure out how to post photos!
 
The pictures are kinda blurry, right now it looks like they are all hens but that could change. I can't tell if the first one has a red comb, an early sign of being a rooster is a red comb and development of wattles.
