Is this a Delaware? 7 weeks old (Photos included)

I got this chick with a bunch of rescued EE chicks. The others are all for sure EE's, puffy cheeks, green legs, typical EE coloring etc. But this guy has always stood out, was solid white when I got him. I'm thinking now that he is a Delaware, and I believe its a Roo, or do Delawares have that big of a red comb and wattles at this age. Can anyone tell me for sure. 7 weeks old.

Well I figured as much that he is a Cockerel, but is he a Delaware? I kind of would like to know since I will be re-homing him

So is he a Delaware? Anyone. I really want to know his breed if possible before I re-home him so I can till them what he is.

Thanks

He may be a Delaware but he's very poor quality as far as color is concerned. I wouldn't worry about calling him a specific breed to rehome him, you could just say he's Colombian colored and you don't know his breed.

I was kind of wondering if he could be a Columbian Wyandotte, And you think he is a Roo Right?

He is definitely a cockerel. I have Delawares but all pullets - 16 weeks old but don't have a cockerel but as has been said, I wouldn't 'guess' a
breed as you are not sure - just rehome him w/o stating a breed as he is too young to know what he will be like as an adult.

Delaware is single combed. The photos aren't crisp enough to see for certainty, but his comb looks to be rose combed. Put a photo of him in your Craigslist advertisement and the taker could draw his/her own conclusion?
