What breed is this?

5 week 3 days old. I can see it looks like a male. But 100% acts like a female. Even has a big poof on the back above the tail feathers. But anyone have a clue on breed?

That is definitively a cockerel. Behaviour is a very poor characteristic to use in gender assessment.
As for breed, there are a few that fit single comb, clean yellow legs, gold/red based plummage....I'm leaning production red, but confirmation and overall development in the next 10+ weeks will tell the tale

Unfortunately I agree that it looks like a Cockerel as well.

I wasn't using behaviour a characteristic. I was simply stating its behaviour is nothing like any rooster I have ever seen in my life at all.

I agree, I think you have a little cockerel. I'm not sure of the breed though. Can you post more pictures in a few weeks?

Absolutely a cockerel. Base color looks more like a New Hampshire Red than a Production Red to me. But a New Hamp should be showing some black in the hackle and tail by now.... Where did you get the chick? Hatchery? Breeder? Feed store?
