3 Week old cockerel or pullet?

[lala134]

I need help to identify this chick's sex. I have raised a flock of chicks before but they were sex linked pullets. This flock however I have four breeds 6 Barred Rock, 6 Delaware, 6 Buckeye, and 6 Dominique's. This chick I know for sure is a Barred Rock due to comb. But, I do not know if it is a cockerel or a pullet. I believe it is a cockerel as my other chicks do not look anything like this one. This chick has more white feathers, a large comb and hardly any black on it's legs. Today I noticed that this chick's waddles are coming in and none of the others are doing this. Thank you for your help!!

That is what ithought. Thank you so much! I have never seen a cockerel before now. I did order all females but hey hubby wanted a roo he will be so excited. As for me I am the one to care for them I just hope he will continue to be freindly the older he gets. He is usually one of the first ones to come to my hand to perch.
