Hello, I am going to a farm where she has 5 week old chicks that she bought as an assortment. She claims that there should be barred rocks in the mix but doesn't know how to tell them apart. I'm hoping you great bunch of people will be able to educate me and show me which one to go for so I'll be able to get the barred rock I want. I'd also like Easter Eggers, Buff Orpingtons, Wyndcotte (sp), leghorns too if anyone has pics of them too at 5 weeks old. Thanks alot.
 
Both of these are pullets, but try not to get one that is silvery- light colored because those will be the boys
Four weeks old:
