Convince my family this is a cockerel!

Do sweet cockerels turn out mean? My mean ones turned out mean, so assuming he is a boy, what do you think about temperament in the future, because he is sweet and cuddly, and I don't think to much is going on upstairs...

Some sweet ones stay sweet, and some sweet ones turn out mean. (Based on reading a lot of threads on here, I'd say it's about an even split each way.)

I have my fingers crossed then☺

Liking to fly means nothing.
Sparring doesn't necessarily mean you have two boys either.
My girl & boy were sparring at that age too.
Now the girl gives in a bit.
My girl is the one who flies everywhere this time, but a few times back it was one of the males.

Judging by that amount of comb growth at only 3 weeks, I am definitely thinking young man though.

My cockerels were sparring off at about that age, they did do it with the pullets, but usually only when they would run, and bump into them. These two seem to seek each other out to do it, but is it possible they are just playing? It is way more confusing when there are two of them lol.

New face and tail pics lol. He likes cameras, like little Laia in the next pen. The Brahmas comb turned the color of tomato pulp, like a pink orange color yesterday, or at least I just noticed it today, I can take pics if you want, but I forgot to when I was down there.

Thanks, I think so to

He is 4 1/2 weeks today! More pics. Dust bats with mom are fun I guess, I'm not so sure what is so appealing about getting kicked in the face though lol.
