Is this a female or male rhode island

I was curious is this was in fact a rhode island red and if it is a female. She has long feathers and is pretty small. But I'm just not sure

It looks like a male. But im not sure either, do you know the age?

Better, clear photos in natural light needed to determine.

I believe around two weeks maybe a few days older or younger

Oh okay, i think to really tell you should wait 4 weeks. But it looks like a male, is it vocal? Does it walk proudly with its chest puffed? Is it aggressive and does it seem to protect the others?

Those are not proven ways to tell. Young males at this age have no hormones to make them behave that way, just like a young female chick won’t do a thing when she sees an egg.
Some birds do crow early, but not THIS early.

I call it a female so she is my most loving and affectionate chick. She loves attention and to be cuddled. She also is the one the two barred rocks attack the most
