It’s still early....but I am seeing some amber coloring coming out on the wings, which indicates a cockerel.....if you have green egg layers, keep him! They will likely produce beautiful olive eggs!
Repost pix in a couple more weeks for more definitely sexing!
 
Awful lot of brown for a bcm at 4 weeks. Is he purebreed? By 4 weeks my cockerels were obvious by their red combs. Just my experience. Hoping you have a hen but only time will tell.

Yes purebred, hatched it from eggs I ordered from Deer Run farm, so really should be anyway lol

I have some EEs and just "regular" brown layers...but hey if he's a nice guy I'll consider it!
