Hello friends! I have a couple 4 week old cream legbar chicks and one of them has a comb that is larger than the other also stands a bit taller. I have a feeling it’s a cockerel but wanted to get your opinion. Thank you! (I also included a picture of the other one for comparison)

Cockerel feathering. These are generally a sex link breed, how did he look when he was a few days old? The females have a chipmunk look with defined stripes. The males are a bit more flat-coloured all over when a few days old.

Thats a Female on the left with the darker markings. The one on the right is Male, no defined stripes.

It had similar color to the female just not the stripes on the eyes

When I sought to buy my legbars, it was the head I was looking at, the eyeliner is a good way to tell females from males. The back stripes are visible on males and females, however it seems to be a lot more defined on the females of this breed. Looking at the chick pictures, that's a cockerel for sure.
