Barred Rocks 7 weeks old- male or female?

[RNchickenfarmer]

My barred rocks are now 7 weeks old. Please help me figure out if they are male or female. They are definitely top of the pecking order. Thanks!

Based on the light barring, I'd say they're both cockerels.

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping that wasn't the case. They also have red combs and the beginnings of wattles. Its funny though, these two were slower to get red on their combs and wattles. There were others in the group that screamed roo at 4 weeks old.

Cockerels.

Both males.

Both look like cockerels to me, too.
