Needing others opinion whether the white chick and the one above in middle could be a cockerel. We ordered all female on tsc site. They’re 5 weeks old. The only ones getting bright color to comb. I know they can’t guarantee all female. But starting to think they might be cockerel.

Often at five weeks you can tell the difference, not always but sometimes. For me to guess I'd want a close-up of the head showing the comb and any wattles. I'm looking for the presence of wattles, size of combs and wattles, and their color. I'd also want a profile shot showing the legs, posture, and profile. Long heavy legs tend to be males, Males have more of an upright posture where the girls are often more bent over. The body shape can sometimes give clues.

From that shot I'd be suspicious of the white one but I'd really want better photos.
