Spur buds exist in day old chicks.. You just can't see them that well without squinting reaaaaaaaallllllll hard.

Spurs are like nipples in the chicken world. Both genders have them. XD

I have a six week old rir that has spur buds does this mean it is most likely a cockerel?

Sometimes they do. This is one of my Welsummers at 8 months. Her spurs are much longer now, I just haven't taken photos of them recently.
