A Cockerel, for sure. The wattle and comb are very red and the tail is rooster-like.

Definitely a cockerel!

Thank you for the replies! And i've heard that pullet legs are darker like this one? and also it had a clear white spot on its head when it was little

Based on feather and leg color I'd say pullet, but then again based on comb/wattle development I'd have to say rooster. Tricky little fellow you've got there

the whole leg color and spot on the head doesnt always work...at 4 weeks with that comb and those wattles i'm pretty sure you have a cockerel there

100% cockerel.

At 4-5 weeks the dead give aways are the wattles, red comb, and bright white bars.

Side by side, the cockerels really stick out. The pullets are dark and have dull, yellow combs and no wattles.

You have a cockerel.
