Barred rock pulley or cockerel?

Update! My the one in the first picture that’s behind the chicken wire now has pointed saddle feathers so to y’all who said that was a cockerel, you’re correct! Here’s updated pictures of both. Does the smaller one (on the right) that is a month younger still look like a pullet to y’all? It feathered out way faster then the cockerel did! Thank goodness because that cockerel was nakey for awhile! Haha! Thanks in advance for responses!

I want to say a pair. But the pattern is soooooo light on the younger bird. @Mosey2003 breeds Barred Plymouth Rocks and could definitely help out. @MysteryChicken has also become interested in the breed recently. Perhaps she could shed some light on their sex.

I'm thinking both are cockerels, the one on the left is really obvious. The one on the right has wide bars too, could be a late bloomer cockerel, or a pullet carrying the Sex Linked Dilution gene.

Fingers crossed for the pullet with whatever that gene is. What does that mean? Lol. I’m new to barred rocks. 😊
