Can you tell me the sex?

I've got a chick that I am caring for, for a friend, he/she was attacked by flock due to being put straight in with them from the brooder. I went in this morning to check on everyone, I have some chicks that were hatched about three days ago, they are in separate pens. The patient started making a noise that reminded me of a Roo, standing up on toes, stretching out wings and making a noise that reminded me of a sad attempt at crowing.

Full body pic including comb and waddles. Also age please?

That's one heck of a red looking comb from this angle.

Age?
We need a better pic of the comb, and if it's over 12 weeks, a pic of the saddle, too.

Guessing 4 to 6 weeks, if saddle feathers mean where a roo sinks his claws in, that won't happen for probably another 4 weeks, little one is in my hospital cage being treated from being attacked by flock mates, had a SOS from a friend and went and I got him/her.. Almost all of the back feathers were lost in the attack, some of the wing feathers all of the tail feathers.

Thats a big chicken for 6 weeks, but i would say Cockerel. Saddle feathers are at the back of a chicken, kinda like where a saddle would be.
