Gender and Breed help please

[Fire_flame]

Hiya,
First time chicken momma here. My partner gave my kids 2 chicks a project....but of course they bonded to me as I spend the most time with them etc.

Luna our black 6 week old chick crowed this morning, I got a hell of a fright. However, Luna's behavior is not of an alpha, Luna follows Marshall l, second to eat etc. I'm completely unsure of Luna's breed, gender and colour name. Pretty sure Luna is a Bantam with feathery feet.

Marshall is the alpha. 6 weeks old too, has not crowed. Has started sitting very awkwardly on the ground, comb is peachy and feathers rounded....so despite Marshall's name (after the Paw Patrol dog, thanks to my son), I think Marshall is a hen. Any idea of the breed and coloring name?

Thanks in advance
Lexi

hello @Fire_flame Welcome to BYC
It would help us to help you if you posted some photos of the birds; whole body side on with something for scale, and a head shot showing the comb, at least. They are still quite young for breed ID (juvenile feathers are not always the same as adult plumage) but gender is often visible by 6 weeks.

I concur on the genders; no idea on the breeds.
