Hey I was told a couple weeks ago that my chick was too young to sex. May be a R.I. Red? 8-10wks?

I'm hoping someone may have a better idea now that most feathers are in. My C.L. seems kinda mean too LoL. Loves pecking my toes & fingers & well Everything too. Idk if that's just a bird thing or an attitude issue?
Anyway I'd love to know more certain the breed & sex please!!!

Color isn't accurate in photos transmitted over the internet, but the chick's comb appears more on the yellow side. If it looks more yellow to you as you are seeing it in real time, it's a cockerel. I'm not familiar with the breed. A pullet would have a much more colorless comb, and probably not that pronounced.

the printed towel/blanket ??? makes it harder to see what color the chicken is. Really would like standing side view, and photo of head facing front to see comb etc.

Probably a production RIR. As others have said, color of the comb would help. This bird looks younger than 8 weeks to me, or maybe just a slow grower.

I'll certainly try to get some better pics asap! The comb is pretty much a yellowis-orange color, certainly not a skin color. What is a "production" RI Red?
I got CL at the beginning of the month & the store said they were all between 4-6 wks old. So that's the age imI going from, but I really don't know the age. Thx!

There isn’t a production rir red,it’s just a production red.A brown bird with a few black feathers of the tail bred for egg production

The chick in this pic looks about two and half old.

 

[Crazy for Chickens!]

How old?
Looks like a hatchery quality RIR.
Can we please have pics in natural daylight, without the blankie, for sex?

it's a cockerel.
