You could have more than one, but I can't tell with those other two enough to make a call.

This is a great thread.... But sadly I now think my little one is a rooster - I would loooove a barred rock hen, they're gorgeous! What do the experts think? Boy?

Hi, I bought these two chickens two days ago, they are supposed to be pullets. They are also supposed to be Plymouth Rocks. Have done lots of ready on here in the last day but I have a feeling my Martha is an Arthur, lol. Is it too early to tell yet, here's a couple of pictures of Martha.

The top two photos are Martha, the bottom two are Lucy. They may be still too young to tell, council won't allow us to keep roosters and need to know before I get too attached to them, lol. Take care xxx

Hmm, am thinking now Martha may be a Martha, going by colouring on wings and that Lucy may be a Lou, lol. Take care xxx

Me too. The others look like pullets.

I agree, there are actually two of them. They switched places when I took the second picture. They don't like to be around each other which will probably cause a problem in the spring

Someone is posting this as a pullet for sale on CL. By your coloring rules, looks like a roo. Am I wrong?
