He's precious

I was told at day one to check for a ball or balls and I thought that's what I seen

Chickens don't have external genitalia or penises. The testes of males are internal, deep inside their body cavities.

Did you vent sex him? This should only be done by experts with a lot of experience as you can injure him badly.

Ok I'll do that. I have the electrolytes pack and I have him in the incubator still on the same temp he was born and 50percent humidity

Y is he still in incubator after two days.

I would get it in a brooder with heat and food and water

Hes eating good now and figured out the water. So the girls will be here soon and he'll have company. The mirror idea was awesome he's seems happy and it's funny to watch, I put him in a incubator because he seem to sleep better in it he has access to food, water and a mirror. So thanks for the advice.

This is good news.
However you need a brooder box with a heat source. Heat lamp or chick heating plate or pad
Are you prepared with these things?
They cant continue in the incubator. Most chicks are removed from the incubator when dry and moved to a brooder.
