Hi there, welcome to BYC!

Those cute little red wattles are a pretty good tell. I would say that you are likely right about that being a cockerel, even though it's still early.

Welcome! I agree, cockerel. Cute, too, even at this awkward time in his life.

Everything is a pullet until it crows.

I've been there too, and right now am wondering about a couple of my April chicks. Like almost everyone, I'm hoping for pullets.

Welcome to the Flock!!!!

Unfortunately, there's little doubt that's a cockerel.

That’s what I was afraid of!! I am in love with this little guy but can’t have Roos in my town. Maybe he’ll surprise us all and be a she!
