This little guy is a lavender (dad) x cuckoo lavender (mum) Pekin (Cochin) bantam, is he a boy or girl?
I'm thinking boy but I have three different patterns in my chicks, 4 all one colour which I'm pretty sure are girls, a couple look like this guy with the pale face but no head dot, a few with pale face and head dot and a few one colour with head dot.

I know the ones with head dots are boys but I'm not sure about this guy.

I have no idea because I have never had dealing with chickens but bought two lastnight. However, yours is SO CUTE!
 
I don't see a head spot, so is should be female. However, that light down can make it really hard to see a spot this young. I hatched out splash sex links and could not tell the difference cause of the light down. I'd say female for now, but keep an open mind about gender and watch carefully for barring/cuckoo patterning.
