They're all a week old. If better pictures are needed I'll be sure to try to get better ones!

Too young to sex by feathers. Feather sexing at this age is not extremely accurate and works the best in autosexing breeds. I do think that some people are great at sexing by feathers though. But to get a better/accurate answer, update them in 6-7 weeks. The older the more accurate
 
Barred rock are one of the few that can have some signs early to the gender. Smaller contained headspots are pullets. These seem to have quite a bit of white for their age, so that might mot be acurite for this breeding line. Some have found that the leg wash is holding true when head spots haven't. I believe it is dark legs like #2 that are pullets. Once the feathers come in the pullet will appear darker than the cockerals. This is due to the double barring roos get.
