bantam
barred rock (i think)
rhode island red
golden sex link
this is wyandotte ( i think)
the ugly bantam

the chicks are 4 weeks old except the bantams, they are more like 6 weeks. THANKS!
 
Nice little bunch of variety there. I believe, if these are only 4 weeks old, the Barred Rock is definitely a cock, the Golden sex is probably a cock, and even the Ugly one could be a cock. However I would put money on the others all being pullets.

Only time will tell, but I wouldn't mind knowing the outcome in a few weeks when all will be more certain.

Barred rock, the one you think is a RIR is a golden comet, The BR is def a roo, and the bantum might be as well... The one you think is the sex link is actually the RIR....
 
Thanks for the help. Yeah. I think I got the rir and the golden one confused. So....now what do I do with these roosters?
 
put an ad on craigslist many people are looking for nice barred rocks and roosters. Offer it for free but to a good home
 
i dnt think the barred rock is a roo. mine had a bigger comb when it was 3 weeks, and a much lighter color i say its a pullet
 
I think they are older then 4 weeks, more like 5-6 weeks and the bantam 8 weeks. Just by my experience with feathering.

The barred rock could possibly be a cuckoo maran. Look at the legs. Barred rocks have yellow legs and marans have pink/white legs. Females usually have a black wash on the front, but not always. I do believe that one is a boy. The comb should be much smaller at this point.

Here's my female at 8 weeks

The rest look like girls. Also, your RIR looks more like a red sex link.
