could someone help me with what breed, and gender?

From what I can see, it has yellow legs, a single comb, and barring. If he is a sex link, then i would say cockerel for carrying the barring.

 

Don't know the breed but looks like a cockerel to me.

 

I'd guess cockerel too - that's a lot more wattle and comb then I'm used to seeing at that age (none of mine are single comb though, so don't take this as authorative)

 

Possibly a Delaware. Could you post a side profile of it? And, I'm thinking cockerel.

 

Looks like a Delaware or Delaware mix to me, but a side-profile photo would help be sure. And I'm thinking cockerel.

I think it's a mixed breed cockerel.
