Cockerel or Pullet?

[Griggstead]

Help sexing these two. About 5 weeks old. Barred Rock had messing marking and unclear leg color at hatch he/she won’t be used going forward. The other is a prairie Blue Bell. I’m leaning towards cockerels but thoughts. Point out what you see other than the comb and wattles. Lack of neck feathering?

Cockerel. Comb and male-specific color leakage

On the BR is the color leakage on the legs?

I only see one bird in those three photos and it's not a BR

I tried to upload the BR photos but I’m not sure it worked.

They didn't upload. To answer your question though, the male-specific coloration is the red leakage/bleed-through you see on the wings

Ok I was able to add the photos to the original post. So the leakage your referring to is the brown on the PBB?

I'm going to say cockerel for the BR but with reservations there
