I'm thinking rooster,but I can't tell for sure.

I am thinking rooster due to the feathering/non feathering on the back, but not being able to see a good facial picture with the comb, it is hard to tell. It seems to have thicker legs and in the first picture is standing tall.

How old is he/she?

 

[Corimckee]

Only 3 weeks. I think he is a roo, but I thought some other opinions would know more then me=)

In my experience, the wattles are the best indicator. At week 7 or 8 the wattles will develop quickly. Then it will be very easy to tell whether it's a pullet or cockerel - males will develop big red ones as well as deep red skin around the beak. There is some basis to conditionally sex them based on the "haircut"; males usually have a "choppy" or "edgy" crest while the hens have a rounder and fluffier crest. You should post a close-up of the face in about 3 or 4 weeks, when it should be clearer what you have.
