Breed and sex?

[Amandac77]

This little lovely is 5 weeks old...any ideas what breed ( hatched from a fairly mixed bag of chickens) and boy or girl?
Also, in any of your experiences what's the earliest a rooster starts to Crow of it is one?
I don't have any others to compare with as out of a mixed lot of eggs we only managed to get a chick and a duck
Thank you

Cockerel, cockerels first try to crow quite early 6-10 weeks

Thank you all....we had a loud crow this morning so he is most definitely a little Rooster in the making...so now he needs a new home as my sister can't have a noisy one in the garden
