Is it too young?

[EChicky]

Hi! This little mystery chick again. We were wondering if anyone knows if they are a pullet or cockerel. I know that most sexing isn't done until 5 weeks, but we are kind of in a time crunch to decide which chicks to keep and which to give to a friend. Thanks

it is really too early, but right now nothing is screaming cockerel.

To early, but if I had to guess, I would go with pullet.
That really is just a guess at this point though.

Okay. The only thing that worries me is that one of the other chicks is squatting around her. Is that something they do to cockerels?

Pullets won't squat until they're at point of lay.

If you think she is squatting, it is much more likely that she just likes to sit like that for some reason.
