Barred rock roosters?

[SeaSea47]

Do either of these barred rock chicks look like roosters? One of them is the only chick who doesn’t run away when I stick my hands in the brooder to change food, water, etc. and puffs its chest up at me, so that leads me to believe it’s possible.

The two single pics are both of the same chick (it’s the same chick that’s on the left in the one with two) (and yes, I’m about to clean off the top of the heat plate while they have a cucumber and yogurt snack lol).

Too young, post pictures again when they are about 7-8 weeks old

It's a bit early to tell, but the one on the left (in the picture with both) may very likely be a cockerel.

Roosters are lighter colored than hens….So the left has a 50-50 chance of being a roo, but, like @All4Eggz said, it’s too early to tell.
A rooster will develop its comb and wattles much, much faster than a hen, so if one of your chicks has a fully red face and full comb and wattles, plus a lighter coloring…You will probably start to hear some crowing 😂

Lol thanks🐓
It seemed appropriate haha

Thanks, all! I will say the on the left is bigger than the others, so that’s what got me wondering…well, that and the fact that he/she puffs up at my hand when I change their water, but hopefully, it’s just a brave little hen!

Okay, it may still be too soon, but at 4 weeks…rooster or not?

Oops. Here’s the pic

I would say hen; roosters are usually lighter and have a redder/bigger comb at that age.
