I assume you're asking about chick closest to the camera, with the little pink wattles so clear under the chin.

I would guess male, based on those wattles, combined with how young the chick looks otherwise.

But if you're planning to butcher or rehome the chicken based on the gender, I would probably wait a bit longer to be sure. If it really is a male, that should become much more obvious over the next few weeks.
 
I’d say it’s a cockerel based on wattles. He is a little young, but when they have wattles growing in when their that young (especially in that colour) it normally points towards a cockerel.
 
Thank you. I’m a first timer, I assumed cockerel based on the wattles. Here is a side picture.

If they're planning to butcher ya they should surely wait a bit longer.
That wouldn't hardly make a nugget at this point.
