At 8 weeks, definitely male.

I'm gonna vote rooster.

It was born 9/18 and the only reason we were questioning it is because unlike the other Roos that hatched around the same time it’s very docile and doesn’t try to fight the others…

Cockerel. Coloring is also male specific.

Well, personality doesn't always determine the gender. Boys can be very, very calm and docile sometimes.

I have an extremely non dominant rooster. Never approaches me. I think the hens were even pushing him around.

That's for sure. I have some friendly, young cockerels currently.


Also, that's a cockerel, like others have said.
