Asking for a friend. Barred rock chicks apparently can be easily sexed at hatch based on the headspot and legs, can someone with experience in sight sexing this breed please let me know if this is a male or female. Thank you :)

Hard to tell from pic but could be boy. Reason being looks more white on wing and on top of head. Would let grow out more to tell. Boys will have more white barring on feathers. Will have bigger feet and wider spread on white on head etc. See video for early sexing.:)
 
It's a good sized comb, but it looks too yellow to be a cockerel. Most all of my barred rock boys have always had huge red combs by 8 weeks. So I'm thinking its a pullet. Wait a few more weeks, and if it's a boy it'll be more obvious :)
