Looks a bit like a little cockerel. The comb looks rather large and pink for 4 weeks.

from those pics it looks like it might turn out to be a roo

It might be a roo but it could still be a hen, it's pretty young to tell.

I think it still looks like a pullet. If it was a red sex link, then it will be a pullet. My RIR straight runs I got for free at the feed store were easy to tell male from female even at just four weeks. Usually males will be less skittish than females. I call it boisterous because that's the best way to describe it. They're already cock-sure!

I don't think those are red sex-links. More likely production reds.
