Can you guys help me with this Barred Rock? About 5 weeks old. Male or female

You can post your photos at "what breed or gender is this?" Generally the females will have darker black barring and a black wash over their yellow legs. Males have wider white areas and lighter barring. Welcome to Backyard Chickens.

The chick in third pic, behind the HWC, looks male. He is lighter (wider white bars) with a definite comb with a fair amount of color for 5 weeks. You indicate all pics are of one BR chick, but it is harder to tell gender in the other two pics. If you get a chance to take any more pics, try some in a more neutral background and while chick is standing and from the side. Getting a good clear pic of comb and wattle development is also helpful.
