I can see why you're concerned by a proud looking stance. But, it's hardly conclusive and there's no sense worrying over it unless rooster feathers emerge or the comb darkens early. Right now, it's quite pale and just looks like an alert chicken.

To be honest, this one would be in my suspect column for at least another couple of weeks

Ahh thanks for the help I'll keep an eye on it and update. Thanks again

I agree, not currently screaming cockerel yet, but must stay on the watch list for any red to appear in the comb/waddles, or even top of the wing feathers in the next couple weeks.

Some shots are heavily suspect. But you should have a good accurate answer within 2 or 3 weeks. Hope it's a girl!

Looks like a late blooming cockerel to me.

Yeah its head and gels are getting redder everyday. If we have to I found a friend that can take him until we can get a bigger place but that leaves me with one chicken will it be okay by itself while I get another chick to raise? I know they're supposed to be at least two chickens so they can socialize. And this all depends on in a couple weeks if it really does turn out to be a rooster.

I do believe it is a cockerel. Stance says it all. If I'm wrong, I'll wear the hat of shame! I would hold on to him until you find a replacement so your EE gal won't be alone.
