Still too young. Most early signs of a cockerel don't start to show until the chick is feathered in.

X2. Updated pictures in a couple more weeks would be very helpful!

Welcome to BYC.
I am pretty sure that certain breeds can be sexed at 4 weeks...some can even be sexed at hatch.
Waiting is the worst! huh
I hope you get what you want...a girl..I am assuming.

Depending on the breed, some can be sexed as young as 4 weeks. So can early blooming cockerels. Yours is neither, but it's not a big deal, just post pictures in a few more weeks. The wait is hard, huh!

Oh, I totally understand!

I even have determined gender at 3 weeks before, but that said, all babies mature at different rates. Also cockerels and pullets of certain breeds feather in differently, making things easier.

Is there only one chick? I enjoy watching the very young and at 4 weeks my Rhode Island reds roosters were bugging the girls and getting into mischief, while the hens were crawling into my lap

Comparing them to others is a good indicator
