Araucana gender?

[Kwoka]

This is my first time with araucanas and pea comb chicks in general. I want to say cockerel because of the comb color, but I have no clue. This one is 4 weeks old. I will probably have to wait until it’s older, but any good guesses are helpful

Also, what would you call this color? Just regular partridge?

(They white cockerel in the pic is for comparison)

Definitely a cockerel. Love the ear tufts! He may be mixed variety but looks similar to duckwing (partridge)

Thanks! He’s super cute and funky. Now I can officially name him Shrek, because those tufts really stick out lol

Just adding an update here to show off Shrek’s adult coloration- barred partridge/duckwing/crele? Idk what to call it, but I love it. He’s 17 weeks here

Idk which barred chickens you’re asking about (most of the flock is barred lol) but I have barred Olive Eggers, Crested Cream Legbars, and the Araucana cockerel is a barred/partridge/duckwing mix color
