Can anyone tell me what breed and sex this chicken is?  It's about 6 weeks old and came as my exotic chick and as a straight run.

The picture quality isn't the greatest but he's not solid black.  I was thinking maybe golden laced Cochin and again he isn't exactly marked like that either, it's almost like he's marked like a black and brown barred rock instead of black and white.

He might be partridge, their coloring looks a little different then they are "teenagers".
