Hey y’all these are two Plymouth barred rocks that I got from Meyer hatchery. They were supposedly sexed. Does one look like a cockerel to you chicken experts?

Thanks!

The one on the right has a large comb for its age, so I'd be suspicious. A photo that shows the bird from a side view, a little further away from the camera so it get the whole body would help.
 
Yikes, I see what you mean. How old? Definitely let’s see the body, is the barring lighter in color or not? The boys would have lighter color.

That’s a pretty big comb for only barely 6 weeks but otherwise looks female so I’d watch it
I’m worried about my EE also, I think you responded to my other post, I think TSC snuck a Cockerel in there. The one has tail feathers, the cockerel suspect doesn’t have any tail feathers and a comb twice the size as the other, he’s also a bit more slender than the other one.

That one is definitely a cockerel
