Just wanting to see if I understand the barring gene a bit and after looking though all the barred rocks, this is the only one that looked like it had a shot at being a cockrel. Do you think we are right about this one? Guesses are OK, we were mostly looking at sexing them for fun right now.
(sorry for the blurry pics. it is the same chick in both pictures.)

 
Yep, that's a boy. Barred male birds have more bars (white marks), which leads to an overall lighter look.
