I'd always heard it was 80% to 85% but I'd believe 90%.
But again that's barred rocks not SF barred males.

I have only mentioned Barred Rocks due to the OP White Rock rooster that is clearly hiding Barring(basically a Barred Rock painted in White due to recessive white) and the Sex linked video of the chicks was to ilustrate how a Barred Rock single barred males may look like.But again that's barred rocks not SF barred males.
Thank you! This cleared up most of my confusion!For the OP's chicks:
If the White Rock father is barred (hidden by the white), then all chicks would carry one copy of barring. The chicks who have a barred mother (Marans, Delaware, Barred Rock) will have a larger yellow spot on the head IF they are male (because a male can have two copies of the barring gene, B.) Any female chicks, and any male chicks whose mother was not barred, should have a smaller or not-present head spot (because they'd only have one copy of B.) The chick from the Easter Egger, for example, will not be sexable by head-spot.
