What sex are my barred rock chicks?

We recently bought some barred rock chicks, and they were supposed to be all pullets, but they look different. So we are wondering if there is anyone who could please help sex the chicks. We really need to know if there are any males so that we can re-home the males because we have a small flock and we don’t want the males to fight with the others. We looked up how to sex chicks and they said we could  feather sex chicks so I have sent pictures of wings .

Welcome to Permies!

I am not able to see the pictures you posted... perhaps you could try attaching them? Below the box where you type, there is a tab labeled "Attachments".

I am not familiar enough with barred rocks to be confident, but google says the males are lighter in color as chicks. In general roosters are going to grow faster, have a larger comb, and develop spurs. But you will need to let them grow up a bit first. I've never had problems with them fighting until they are almost fully grown, so you probably have time... depending on how old they were when you got them.

This might be helpful. I go here often for chicken specific information after I look on this forum to compare.

Is there anybody who can sex these chicks?

My friend who knows a lot about chickens says that it's the white spot on the head that needs to be looked at:
1. If the white dot is rounder, it's probably male.
2. If the white dot is "messy", it's probably female.

However, it's an art, not a science, so she wouldn't cull based on that, but it was an indicator that she found fairly reliable.

Not quite from the realm of the dark arts - more of the grey area . . .
I found that if one looks at the legs, those of the males will be slightly thicker.  Not foolproof, but it worked for me.  Bad luck if they are all the same sex, but that's not too likely

Kade, I'd love to help but your pictures didn't come through. I don't know what the problem might be, but that's why no one has really stepped up.
We're very helpful people about stuff like this.

The hints you've been given - little white spot on the back of the male's head; boys tend to have thicker and brighter colored legs - are good hints.

Another one that I have had work most of the time is that boys feather out before girls do. They'll have more and larger wing feathers sooner than the girls. Trust me - it's never steered me wrong (even when I wish it had).

You can try posting the pictures again. Or maybe hit the reference links that have been shared.
Barred Rocks are great hens. My Barred Rock roo went for a long walk on a short pier and ended up in Freezer Camp because he just wasn't what I wanted for my flock, but he wasn't a Bad Roo, just not for me.

No one will ever tell you that they can sex your chicks 100% of the time and actually mean it. I'm sorry if that's frustrating (because I understand that sometimes that extra chick is a make-or-break situation) but humans just can't get things right always. It won't stop us from trying, but every hint/tip will come with caveats.

Please keep trying and being a part of the conversation. We're in the same boat.
Well, I'm busily trying to come up with ways to somehow cull 8 perfectly decent purebred birds that I don't need or want, so maybe not the exact same boat, but I'm rowing nearby.

Here are the  the pictures

This little guy looks like a cockerel from the spot on the back of its head. Again, it's not 100% accurate, but if these are the only two chicks, comparing the definite 'spot', this is a boy.

This looks more like a little pullet from the general shape of the spot on the back of its head and the feather development, assuming the chicks are the same age.
Again, not 100% accurate - it's more a "vibe" at this early stage.

Once you get some experience with chicks and chickens you'll start to be able to feel, from feather development and behavior, which are *more likely than not* a cockerel versus a pullet. It takes time and a lot of chickens. Even then, you can be wrong.
It's roughly 6 months from the time I received some of the cockerels I'm currently thinking Mean Thoughts about right now. I was only just smacked in the face with the "that's not a pullet". I was so hoping for a couple of them to be pullets.

This is a great video! I enjoyed it.
I like that it uses examples that are within that 3-day initial time-span where you're counting your chicks after they've hatched, but before you've put a lot of additional time into them. (Not that it matters for me, but I understand not getting attached to extras you don't want/need.)
So lovely to see someone putting words to what I have been seeing. Thank you for sharing!
