Barred Rock Throwback?? And Sex??

She’s beautiful! Newbie here too...her comb looks pink/red though. So what would you say my 7 week old barred rock is?
Moon im fairly new so don't quote me but from my experience with my lot i would say that looks like a Roo.. only going off the bars and comb length ive found that at 6 weeks the Roos have vibrant white stripes and are more wider white bars then black and the pullets are more black bars with very dull white bars your photo looks the same as my Roos at that age. But im also not an expert!
 
Hey Everyone im new to the community and first time poster, i have been following these forums for almost 7 months and have found soo much usefull tips and advice!

I was gifted some fertilised Barred Plymouth Rock eggs on a trip to visit my Husbands aunty last year and following this forum my kids and i successfully hatched and raised 8.

Following these forums ive successfully been able to sex 7 of the 8 and have come to the conclusion i have 3 Hens and 4 Roos.

However 1 has me absolutely stumped, i always thought it was a Roo, but has they have grown i have also grown doubts.

This is Cluck Norris and Cluck looks so unique from the rest. Clucks markings have thrown me off and im unsure if cluck is some kind of throwback? And am unsure of Clucks sex lately i have been leaning more towards Hen as Clucks comb is alot shorter and lighter then my obvious Roos.

To clarify my husbands Aunty only has Barred Plymouth Rocks. I have attached Photos of Cluck, Penguin (Roo), and Cupcake (Hen) they all hatched together and are all 6 months old.

Any advice on Clucks markings and sex would be appreciated!
Thanks heaps :)
