I would LOVE to know what kind of chicken this is!?

ok...I am new here and this is my first post/question!I got 3 Rhode Island reds and 3 grey chicks a week before easter all just a few days old...problem is no one knows what the greys are? Any ideas?

He's a beautiful Blue Laced Red Wyandotte!

You say HE! I suspected rooster but unsure at this age??

He's 100% rooster. See the long pointy saddle feathers and big red comb and wattles?

Blue Laced Red Wyandottes are so pretty!

Great! please tell me this...do I have a hen also? I am very new to the chicken world!They look slightly different but I wasnt sure if it just a different growth rate? And thanks sooo much for the info!

Awsome! That means I have a pair of blue laced red wyandotte,a pair of self blue old english bantams,a possible pair(waiting on crow)of silkies and 2 RI red hens!We are building a bigger coop/yard for the reds and then I am going for a couple more hens and a roo! Thanks for all the input!

Both of your Blue Laced Red Wyandottes are roosters. But the dark red/brown colored chicken (Rhode Island Red) in the background of the first pic you posted looks like a girl!
