Alright, this is "Sauron", and we are hoping she's a hen. I know it's too early too be definitively sexed, but my kids love her and if she ends up being a roo...well, I just want to set expectations now. Sauron is a smidge over 3 weeks old. We got her (and the other ladies) from a local shop that states: *All of the chicks we receive are sexed female at the hatchery with 90% accuracy

So just wondering if people have thoughts on what way this one is leaning. I did my best with photos, but she is a very spirited chicken. And thank you in advance to all that weigh in!

I agree, it's a bit early. However, with that big comb and white chest, which is often a sign of a male, I'm leaning cockerel.
 
Here are some updated pics, 5 weeks old.
