The women we got the eggs from just confirmed that this chick is probably a fibro easter egger mix (a breed we didn’t know she had so we were confused about the chickens black comb) anyway this chick is six weeks old and I can’t see any redness of the comb because of it’s comb being all black. I do have my suspicions that it is a roo because it likes to try and fight with one of the chicks that is clearly a roo. That roo is also twice its size despite being the same age they are different breeds. This chicks tail is short and a little up turned but that seems normal for both genders of this breed from what I can tell.

You'd need better pictures during the day with the chick standing. Pictures of comb and wattle are more helpful at this age than body feathers. Behavior at this age doesn't indicate gender. My smallest and feistiest chick turned out to be a pullet. She still breaks up fights between my two cockerels.
