Hi All, not a breed I've bred before so I'm not 100% sure on sex, but thinking this is a cockerel. He/she is around 10 weeks old.... am I right....?
Really appreciate the guidance!

Yes, you have a little boy.

Based on those wattles, my guess is a boy. Females do not get wattles for a long, long time.

I posted on another thread but am looking for a very solid answer. If it’s a boy, I will have to give it away . Here is my spitz. I’m wondering if it is a boy or girl. It’s about 6-8 weeks but I am not sure on age. Sorry for all the pics.

I hate to say it, but he looks like a boy to me. Females do not get wattles for a long time and this guy already has them.

I agree. At 6-8 weeks, those wattles are the tell tale sign. I'm so sorry. Hes a pretty boy though.

Ok..7 weeks old...this chickie just took a nap in my lap and stretched it's neck out for me to pet. It loves to perch on my shoulder. Is my friend a boy or a girl?

@Faraday40 and I see teeny wattles just starting to show so we are leaning towards male. Another week will be more clear. Post another picture then.

I also think male, due to the wattles....
