Help me figure out this chick!!

[NewChickenLady84]

I got this chick at Tractor Supply, straight run bantam bin. Trying to figure out the breed and sex. First pic is when I brought it home on April 3rd, not sure of the age at that point but it had feathered wings already. The girl at the store didn’t know the age of the chicks. Second pic is a week later on April 9th. 3rd and 4th pics are from today. Any idea what the breed could be? I think it could be a Mille Fluer D’Uccle, and I’m thinking it could be a cockerel but that’s just a guess. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

I am in the same exact boat except I got mine March 22. There is only one that I am questioning right now and it looks very similar to yours.

@NewChickenLady84 and @thegreatfish2, I belive both of your birds are cockerels. While I'm not experienced in identifying breed, they do look like Mille Fleur D'uccles, though someone else will probably have to confirm that.

They’re Mille Fleur D’Uccles!!!! They’re my favorite! So sweet and friendly! I think it may be a roo. Usually at this age, if you can see the comb from a side view of the chick, then it’s a roo.

Mille fleur d'Uccle cockerels

So it’s been almost 2 weeks, any chance it’s not a cockerel? The comb is definitely pink, can see the start of wattles but not much growth on them. And the Mille Fleur that is see other pics of have much different coloration, will that change after the fall molt?

Definitely boys!

Definitely boys!

I figured such, but still holding out (false) hope it could be a pullet
Unless he’s a quiet roo, I’ll have to get rid of him By-laws in my town prohibit roosters.

Yup, he's a boy. Unfortunately most roosters (if not all) are not quiet. They will probably all crow at one point or another. There's ways you can make them quieter (no-crow collar), but it might be best just to get rid of him. My rooster wore a no-crow collar till he was a year old, then I took it off and couldn't get it back on right. It is a bit of a pain and doesn't always work so I let him be himself after that.
