It was hatched May 19. So it is 9 weeks old. I haven't got a real clue about it's gender!
It is definitely part Bantam (mom)

My chicks are 3 weeks old. I let my hen incubate them. How long does it take before you can determine their gender

Around 4 weeks old is when you can start getting a good idea for most breeds. By 8 weeks you should be confident in what genders you have in most cases. The main thing you are looking for is bright red combs and wattles, which indicate a cockerel. Guessing based off of behavior and feather shapes won't really be accurate until they are around 12 weeks old.
