Not usual pecking order behavior?

[FowlPlay2]

I have an Americana pullet (possibly cockerel?) seriously picking on my barred rock cockerel. I’m not sure if this is normal behavior, but my Americana actively seeks my Barred Rock out, if I’m giving them attention. The Americana chases him around pecking at his face. This started only a few days ago, and I’m not sure if they’re just figuring things out or if it’s a serious issue. I suspect that the Americana could also be a cockerel, (s)he has a much redder comb than all the other chicks and seems to have saddle feathers (s)he flares up when she’s angry. They’re only five weeks though, so I’m not sure.

How are they being kept? They could need more room, and things to do.
