What chicken is this?

I think the barred one is a Black Sex Link cockerel. It looks like your black one has yellow skin with a dark wash, is that correct? I'm thinking maybe an Asian Black hybrid, Black Sex Link, or maybe a Jersey Giant. You may have to give it a few more weeks though, and see if it gets any silver or brown around the neck area when it finishes feathering out. I think it is a pullet though.

If the barred one is a cockerel, it is definitely not a pure barred rock. Barred rock males have two copies of the barring gene (this one only has one copy).
