My guess is Barred Cochin cockerel or a Marans x Rock. Reason: yellow legs, feathered shanks, straight comb.
Not a Marans, or at least not a pure bred, since they should have white/pink legs. Not a barred Rock since they shouldn't have feathered shanks.

ETA: ugh, single comb.

x2 yep, he's a rooster.

Barred Cochin chick. I'm gonna say cockeral, but depending on the age could easily be a hen. Cochins have big combs, for some reason. Lol.

Hello, there! I'm not sure what breed mix that is, but I'd say he was a cockerel - and he's very sweet-looking.
 
Hi guys, thx so much. Just my thinking, my pekin bantam rooster is the father to this sweety..... darn it!! :) I saw the yellow legs, looked to my bantam rooster with a suspicious eye ;) He/She is 4 weeks here, I also think it is a roo, the comb is pretty big and "he" is very dominant! LOL
 
This is "his" mother.. A very nice looking maran... And I who was thinking my Pekin roo was not "ready" yet.... Hmpff, i was wrong.
