I think this 6 week old is a rooster?

...... wait a minute. Are you sure Twoosy is a boy? The comb looks different, in the pic of the two of them. I think Twoosy might be a girl?

I am really new to chickens so honestly, I am not sure about any of them lol. But if Twoosy was a girl, I would do a happy dance. I want to keep them both but I don't have enough room for 2 roosters or enough hens.

I would suggest you post that pic and ask that question under the topic heading "What Breed or Gender Is This?" Lots of people far more knowledgeable than I will weigh in!

Okay, I think I will do that. It would be nice to be able to keep them both if the lighter one isn't a roo. Thanks for the suggestion.

They are just mixed. Members on here thought the mother an Easter Egger mix with a very small pea comb. She has that pencil pattern in her neck also. She is grey but the could be Daddy looked kinda like a copper marans so that's where I guess the black came in. They also have a beautiful sister who is red in color.

What do you think of the previous pictures of the 2 black and white ones? Both boys??

Those two look to be roosters. Pullets wouldn't have those big pink red combs at their age.

Thank you!

Okay, I see now how different Soozy's comb is from the Twins's. Thank you, @oldhenlikesdogs ! I have so much to learn!

Oh and @Futuregreenefarm , I didn't mean to name your pullet for you, I just needed to call her something for reference and it just sort of slipped out...

@BigBlueHen53 hahahaha I love it! Honestly, that's how I do it. And if my son hadn't already named her, I would snatch that name up for her in a heart beat.
