Barred Rock Cockerel or Pullet?

Can you post photos of the saddle and hackle feathers on Francis? Slip a sheet of white paper under some feathers so the shape is easy to see.

I’m so new to all of this. Are those the feathers on the wings?

Welcome to chickens! @Imprezznu here is a link to another BYC article that on the first page they post the photos of the hackle and saddle feathers laid against some paper. It helps to show the shape of the feather. A cockerel will have pointed feathers in these two locations bur a pullet will have nice rounded ends.

Based on the comb and wattle size and how red they are, yours seems to be a cockerel. I do have one hen who as a pullet developed her comb and wattles quickly and had a lot of color to her, so until we check out your youngster a little closer I won't jump to say for sure it's a cockerel yet
