I just got 2 lavender orpington chicks today. They're roughly 3-4 weeks old and as cute as can be. I think one is a rooster but am not sure... what do you guys think?

I think the one on the left is potentially a roo but both have the same comb and leg sizes... just the left's one tail feathers stick up in the air more. Also, if it is a rooster and I hatch chicks from him, what will I get? I also have golden comets, delaware, RIR, and Silver spangled hamburg. Is it a horrible thing to hatch mutts? thanks
 
They're both pretty young. So its hard to sex them at this age. But there both the same except for the tail, and the tail doesn't look any different then the other one except it stands up. So I don't think its a boy because of that. I would wait a while till they're a little older then get some more pictures of them. And no it wouldn't be bad to hatch mutts. :D
