I'm getting a gut feeling this is a slow developing cockerel. I may be wrong, but I'm not totally convinced its a pullet myself.

Now I think maybe a male.
I have no clue.

I’ve been flip flopping a lot on this one. I have very little experience though, I only have 8 chickens. I must say that this little ones legs are massive. I’m crossing my fingers it’s a hen

I thought girl at first but I too see those thick legs.

I'm a bit suspicious it could be a slow developing cockerel but I'm not sure. Originally I said pullet

I see no color in the comb or wattles. The saddle feathers appear to be round although the picture isn't real clear. I wouldn't be too quick to call it a rooster. Give it another week.

Fwiw, saddle and hackle feathering do not develop gender differentiated shape until later juvenile molts around 14 weeks of age. Prior to that their shape and texture is the same

Those thick legs really jump out of the picture. I'm thinking cockerel - unless chick decides to hit the gym and do lots of time on the treadmill.
