I think that "it" is a cockerel.

I would guess boy as well but I have not raised that breed.

I would feel the legs. If it is a he you should feel at least the bumps of the spurs coming in..... Easiest way i have of sexing them....

Cockerel, with that red/large a comb.

Looking like a little man

Yep boy. And as for spur buds...our buff roo is 22 weeks and has no spurs...I don't think that's a good indicator at all.

Look at those wattles!

Male.

By 22 weeks there definately should be a noticable spur bump. I did say to run the hands down the legs to feel for the spur bump. I have had orps before and am not new to poultry. Combs and wattles are just as definative as feeling for the spur bumps.
