What would you call this bird

What would you say this chick is…hen or rooster.

Mom (brown) and dad (black) were Ameraucanas

10 weeks old…
At 10 weeks, with a pea comb that size and color, your chick might be a cockerel. (Single combs are often easier, because they stand up and make themselves obvious. Wattles are often helpful too, but not visible in chicks with nice fluffy beards. So Ameraucanas can be hard.)

I'm not positive about that chick being male, so either give it a bit longer or wait for a few other opinions before you do anything permanent.

That white bird is no doubt a rooster, he thinks he’s a tough boy too lol. My last Ameraucana took me 4 months to realize she was a he lol
