Is this 4+ week old a rooster? And what breed?

I'm brand new to this forum, but I have been stalking for months. Happy to make my first post and eager to get some advice!


I shared an order of "Ornamental Layers" from McMurray with a friend, so I have 20 mixed who-knows-whats that should be all girls... However! I'm having suspicions about Skittle, one of our friendliest babies. I know I can just wait and see, but can anyone give any educated guesses if she's a he? Most likely hatched on July 5th, so a little over 4 weeks old.


Here's my biggest concern: Shiny, pointy neck feathers have come in. None of the others have neck feathers so shiny or pointy, but I have no idea what breed Skittle is, so I don't know if that's just standard for her type She's the only one of this variety that I have.

Any opinions or guesses will be appreciated :) Thanks, friends!
 
Its a Gold Laced Wyandotte.
I think that its got a lot of wattle growth for a 4 wk female. My 6+ week old Silver Laced's aren't that pronounced.
Time will tell but my guess for now is cockeral.

It's a Gold Laced Wyandotte. The girls in this breed are notorious for early comb growth, so I'm saying female so far.
