I heard TSC had chicks in and I'd been looking for Barred Rocks. They didn't have them of course, so I got 2 Speckled Sussex and 2 French Marans. The next day stopped at a different TSC - of course they had Barred Rocks. So I got 4 more. All straight run. I'm hoping some of you can help me with sexing... And telling my Marans from my BRs. Here are the Speckled Sussex.

Your barred rocks seem to be all males except the #1 and #6 who could be a pullets. #6 is defiantly a pullet, #1 is still iffy.
Post more pictures in a week. The white barring lightens as they age.
Thank you! I will post new pics in a week. I was pretty sure I had more roos than hens. Luck of the draw I guess LOL
 
From what I understand, barred rock females have gray streak on the fronts of their legs, and males will have double barring, their pattern will be black on white, and the female will be white on black. My cuckoo Karan’s look like they have spots or speckles where the barred rocks will look like they have stripes.
