Here is one of my 6 week old chicks. This is the only one whose comb and waddles look this red. And they are also the biggest by far. This must be a rooster right? And Im pretty sure he is a blue wyndotte?

Definitely a rooster, and he has white earlobes, so maybe a blue Andalusian?
 
I'm not sure if it's me or not, but I don't see any pointed saddle feathers so I'm betting pullet.


Can you get a side photo?
 
okay here is a side shot. I swear chickens will not hold still!

Here is a shot of the other chick that looks like him and is the same age, probably from the same parents. this one is bigger by a little bit, tail feathers are longer. But it has a white comb and not much for waddles either so Im guessing that one is a female.

The guy I got these from advertised them as wyndotte mixes, but from what I can tell I got Rhode Islands and whatever these two blue ones are. He showed me the rooster that bred all of them and it was a big Rhode Island. At the time I had no chicken clue, but now I realize how can they be wyndottes, when a Red was the dad?
