Is this unique little chicken a hen or roo??

[Little yellow farmhouse]

Hello,
Thank you all for taking the time to look at this post! I am brand new to the chicken world, and having trouble determining the gender of this little one.
Its a blue old English Bantam, 9 weeks old and is the only chick in my young flock with red comb and wattles. What do you think?

Until I get a side view picture I will vote cockerel.

The comb is really red don't you think?

Its a cockerel. Side pics unnecessary at this time, as male or female specific feathering doesn't occur until around 12 weeks at chicken puberty.

Cockerel, the male feathers won't be in yet for a few more weeks. But the comb and wattles are pretty large and red for 9 weeks old.

Thank you everyone for the reply! We are hoping for it to be a cockerel to eventually expand
Here are some more photos
