Barred Rock- Pullet or Cockerel?

[diana90]

What are y'alls opinions on the gender of this chicken? I've been told it's a cockerel, but I have seen other people have hens with red combs and wattles. He/she is 5 weeks old and the friendliest chicken I have.

That size comb and wattles at 5 weeks?! 100% cockerel!

Definitely a cockerel

Thank you. I thought so too with them being so big this early. Earlier on, all the other signs pointed to pullet, the head spot and the dark leg wash.
