Gender ideas?

I have just adopted 3 frizzle x silkies and know s/he is still young (12wks) but I'm thinking this one might be a roo? I'll try to get a better pic of his little face Any informed guesses would be appreciated. Thank you

I'm leaning towards cockerel but if you could get a better picture that would be great.

 

[NickleChick]

Thank you. I'm just about to get them out of bed (6am here is Aus) so will try then.

That sure is a big red comb for a twelve week old rose combed chick. I am going to go with cockerel.

Yep, he definitely looks like a cockerel.

Ok thank you. We love him so he's found his forever home with us <3

That's great that you can keep him, many people have to give extra cockerels away. You'll have fun finding out what he will look like, at this age cross breeds often don't look like what they will when they get older!

We are on acreage out of town and don't have a rooster at this stage... However I have 2 australorp x sussex that I'm a bit suspicious are roosters.
