I am thinking its a male. Is that a small beard I see on him?
Has to be pullet. My male had a full comb at like 6 weeks. He's now about 8 weeks and his is five times that size. And he has huge waddles. I don't see any of those traits on yours

I would like to add to my previous post,
I said I think this is a young rooster do to the amount of solid Black feathers showing up in the breast, and wing bow area, these spots tend to be "sex-link" color areas and the Black feathers showing up in those areas also makes me believe that he is a Production Red do to a lot of Production Reds have Dark Brown Leghorn added to them to boost egg production.

Thanks everyone.... I guess I need to wait a little longer before I can be totally sure. Hopefully I'll get some eggs instead of crowing!
Roosters are illegal in my city so I'd hate to have to get rid of it.

It is the small things that someone with alot of experiance can see..I did not even see the diffrent colors or should I say did not look at them in the way that you did..I was thinking I was getting better at or at least a little better at sexing but did not even see the black feathers on the breast...remind me to send you pictures of my chicks when I have question of roo or not!

The second picture from the bottom. Doesn't some of the feathers in the saddle area look awfully pointed to you? I'd be thinking a rooster...
