Well of course it’s too young. I have a good track record of guessing all of my roosters at 3-4 weeks though. It’s fun to guess :)
 
None of those things point to cockerel. The only definite things are the comb/wattles and male feathering. (which comes in at around 12 weeks.) it's still too young to be developing larger, more red comb/wattles, (if it was male). Post new pics at about 6 weeks please.
