Hello I don't know if it's too early to tell but I was hoping I could get some thoughts on our Chicken's breed or gender. Plus is this comb normal? He/She is 7 weeks old and all our other chicks are getting actual combs where this one is flat and mutated looking. This one is also the smallest but the feistiest/most brave. Goes after my sequined flip flops and my wedding ring constantly.

I can't help you with the breed...but I think that is either a rose comb or a pea comb. Maybe a roo? It's awfully red and looks like it might have a roo tail going there. Wait for some others to respond though..I'm a newbie. You could type in comb types and see pictures to match them up.

That is a rose comb from a cross breed.  It will not look exactly like a normal rose comb.  Also it IS a little rooster.

aww bummer, another rooster?

I'm worried we didn't get any hens.  This one's mean already so we won't be keeping him.

Thanks for your feedback.
