Best guess on this little bantam?

[Tiny raptor]

HI all, I picked this little one out of a bin of assorted straight run bantams. Any guess as to what breed it is? We have named it "lil bro", not sure if it's a roo or pullet lol, but he has severe little man syndrome going on.
Thank you!

I'll hazard a guess at RIR . . . . it looks a bit like mine and they have a 'peck first ask questions later' attitude. But there could be several breeds of chicks that look similar, so don't take my word for it.

ETA: I missed the part where it was in a bantam bin, so I'm probably wrong.

Looks like they’re happy! And on gender: who knows, it’s one of those annoying “time will tell” moments.

That's definitely a cockerel. Way too much red in the wattles at that age to be a hen.

If you're wanting to keep him in your flock, I'd highly recommend to stop holding or snuggling him. Roosters will often turn into monsters if you treat them with that kind of affection. They do best if you respect their space.
