Breed and Gender?!?

Any chance at all it's a hen with a big comb?! I'm just going to be so sad to have to give it away if it's a roo. :-(. I'm also worried that if both the GLW's are cockerels, then we will need to get another pullet for our SS.

You can wait and see, but my GLW didn’t get red at all until she was ready to lay.

I called the store that these eggs originated from and they told me it was from a mixed breeding.. so I'm grasping at straws and hoping that maybe the early red comb is a result of that. Sadly I do think this is a cockerel and not wanting to face the fact that we will have to give away.

Here are my almost 5 week old Black Laced Red Wyandotte chicks...their feathering and Combs are all different...I have no clue..

This is Omelet. We got her/him from our son's 2nd grade class (they hatched chicks from eggs) and we took two home to raise (along with a Speckled Sussex that we purchased after taking the other two home). I am afraid this one is a Roo. But, because I am so new to this chicken thing, I have no clue?! Can anyone tell what breed this is (I am guessing Golden Lace Wyandotte?) and if you think it's a cockerel or pullet? Oooh look at me using the lingo. Lol.. I seriously don't know what I'm talking about.

I may have jumped the gun posting this as they are only about 5-6 weeks.

I'm not any help on gender , but beautiful babies!!!

Wait a couple more weeks. At this point they are too early to sex. No early cockerels though.
