BR 6 only 2 weeks old

Hard to tell at 2 weeks but the others look like pullets. Combs don't look like a rooster's right now

This little guy, I have a funny feeling may be a cockrel. His barring is much more pronounced and his coloring, including his feet is a bit lighter than the others. Also the dot on his head isn't as pronounced as the others, it's more blended.

How old is the little guy?

Our chicks who ended up being cockerels had more pronounced combs early on, about a month old or so, than our chick who was a pullet.

The pronounced coloring could be an indicator but it may be too soon to say for sure.

He is 3 weeks old

Most likely too young to tell for sure.

If he starts to develop a larger comb than the others pretty soon, then that should mean he's a cockerel.

I kinda figured they were a little too young, but it was worth a shot lol!
