Any idea on the gender??

[Vanval]

Hello all,
I would like to see if anyone might have an idea of my baby chicks gender.
5 week old Ameracauna.
I have a feeling it might be a cockerel just by the attitude and posture. Plus, it's not friendly with my other baby frizzles.

I’m going cockerel. He is very pretty.

Looks like a handsome cockerel to me. Are you sure he is only 5 weeks?

Agree, with that large and red a comb at 5 weeks, you have a male.

I second the age thing, your little EE is most likely a cockerel, but 5 weeks? :0 he feathered in fast!

I always questioned the age. I got him on April 18 and they told me the chick was 2 weeks old. I think it is at least +-2 weeks older. So I'm thinking he/she is at least 6-7 weeks.

You all seem pretty sure it's a cockerel

So about a week has gone by and I'm more and more convinced he's a Roo.
What do you think?
About 8 weeks old

I’m fairly sure he’s a cockerel. Also how did he go from being 5 weeks to 8 weeks in two days?

Lol, 5 weeks is if I base myself on the breeder's information (2 weeks, was more like 3/4) plus they told me he was a Silkie, a bit lost
But he definitely is older, I say give or take 8 weeks.
I also did a lot of web searching to determine both the gemder and age
