I have 9 of these little guys who are 5 weeks old. It seems like it is very clear which are boys just by the combs. Is this fairly accurate or are there other factors I need to consider besides just the combs?   Clearly...

He's now about 12 weeks. Is he "still" a boy? And does he still look like a Wyandotte? This little bird is keeping me guessing more than any others I've had :)      

Thank you for all of the replies. He came from Ideal, though he wasn't on the order so I don't know what he was "supposed" to be.. just an extra (not packing peanuts though- we ordered plenty to not need those). I think he has a rose...

Feathers on the feet? They look like they could be Mille Fleur D'uccles.

When we raised meat birds they were so fat and lazy that they didn't go outside even when we let them. There was literally grass and flowers growing in their pen. They couldn't be bothered to peck and scratch like the others! I don't...

Should have added, the same ones in my profile pic at about the same age, for comparison :)

Those definitely look like Mille Fleur D'uccles to me.

Agreed, the "Americaunas" can be any number of colors, so you probably just have a variety.. and, you have them confused with the Barred Rocks, which are the black ones with the white spots.

Can anyone identify the little gray thing? He came as an extra with a group of chicks that my mom got in January. He was getting picked on by the rest of his group (hence the lack of feathers), so I took him in. He is about 9 weeks...
