This chick is 18 or 19 days old.
Backyard mix.

It certainly might be male. The comb suggests it.

But I would probably wait a few more weeks to be sure.

That comb makes me think that too. It does not behave boldly like other males I had before, so I thought I would some expert opinions.

My "expert" opinion usually works out to: if in doubt, wait a while longer

I would say Cockerel but wait. I had an amberlinks pullet have a pretty big comb and slightly pink wattles at that age and her comb and wattles now haven't changed almost at all now that she's 23 or so weeks.
