Barred Rock cockerel?

[Simaxton]

Now that everyone has confirmed that I received two Black Australorp cockerels in the pullets I purchased mid-March, I’m also wondering about this Barred Rock - its coloring/pattern has always looked a bit different from the other three, but it seems to have the same mannerisms. I’m including two photos - one of it alone and one next to another Barred Rock. Are my suspicions correct? Many thanks for you input - I’m a chicken newbie.

I’m definitely no expert but from the things I’ve learned on this site it looks like a cockerel to me. From the coloring, tail feathers and comb size/color. But I could be wrong!

Definite cockerel.

I agree, cockerel. The tail was a dead give away.
