I'm not sure what the mix is, but the feed store said Australorp mix. :) About 5 weeks old and I noticed today the comb has some color and there are some wattles...isn't it a bit young for that if it's a pullet? Sorry this little one runs like the dickens from everyone so getting a picture is hard!

 
I'm a chicken rookie, but I would venture to guess s/he is a cock. I base my judgment on the tail feathers, but there are others on here that are probably much better judges.
 
I'm going to say pullet, but I'd keep an eye on it make sure it doesn't turn Roo on you
