First pic I cant really tell, but on the second pic I think I can see three rows on the comb, so I'd say a roo.

sorry I was rooting for the lil one

I thought about doing that if things came to that point, but one to try one last thing, the sav a chick stuff. About 5 mins after I had typed that post (i had already mixed the stuff with water and got a spot ready for it inside) I went out to get it and it was dead! I couldnt believe it, it was acting a little weak but I had just been out their 10 mins ago. I already took all the other chicks out, but wanted to bring it inside anyways because of its condition. It hadnt been having trouble until a few days ago and slowey decreased in the pecking order and wasnt eating nearly as much. I wanted to try one last time to save it but I guess I was 5 minutes too late. Sorry about your chick

My poor cross beak chick, it is getting bullied by the other now. it is no longer boss like it used to be. I moved it in with ones that were just hatched but it barley larger than. I am going to spereate it and give it some save-a-chick. It looks about the size of a 1 week old chick and it is really 5 weeks old. Maybe the vitamins and electrolytes will make it a little stronger.

I don't anymore. It's been a few years since I last bred or showed any old english bantams. Would love to get back in to it, eventually

Both of these birds are blue. The first one looks to be a pullet and the second is a cockerel. Upon up close views of the pictures the feet on the pullet look a little off. You need to check her soles to see if they are white or yellow. If they are yellow that would indicate that these birds are ee's. But it could just be the lighting in the photo.
