Is my chick a male or female?

[DandyAndMahi]

I’m taking care of this orphan chick that we found and we don’t know what breed or gender it is. We’ve been calling him a he but we’re not sure! I don’t even know if you can tell yet but maybe someone here can?

6 weeks is when you can start getting a good idea. 12 weeks is when gender specific feathering comes in.

I think a roo. The feathers are rounder at the tips in pullets but it’s not a guarantee just a well educated assessed guess
