Can anyone help determine what my little chick is

Its a Maran

Feather sexing doesn't work unless you know the genetics of the parents and specifically crossed them to produce feather sexable chicks. There's no way to tell the gender of this chick at this time.

When it starts laying eggs and you cook them, if they taste great, its a girl, if they taste awful, it's a boy.

When the feathers come in you might be able to tell or guess at around 6 weeks old

In person its easier to tell sooner if you got for an example, 8 chicks you can start to tell the difference between genders at a couple of weeks

much too young. Please wait until about 8 weeks old.

You need a photo of the bird and legs to even start to guess. Meetthebubus is right that it's easy when you've a straight run of chicks and can tell by leg size, stance, feathering which gender is which by comparison. In general huge legs are the cockerels. Some breeds can be sexed with fair accuracy by the dark wash on legs and so on.
