On the...

3. Is easily contained but also can be a good forager if let out
4. The roosters are more gentle
And 5. the icing on the cake...

I have a couple questions (chicken newbie here!) I have two ~9 week old youngsters that I would like to determine breed and gender. They are from the same person.
Chick #1 - Smaller than chick #2
Chick #2 - Has always been larger than chick #1, but now seems to be developing redder wattles...
