Know the breed, is this a cockeral? May be a very silly question. :/

Actually neither, though those are good guesses.

They're Light-Brown Dutch Bantams, which is a somewhat rare bantam breed (at least in the United States--they're plenty common in Europe). While they look similar to bantam Light-Brown Leghorns, there are differences between them: Dutch bantams should have slate legs and beaks, somewhat short backs, and are about 20oz. in size. On the other hand, Leghorns should have yellow legs and beaks, are long-bodied, and weight several ounces more. They're quite enjoyable, beautiful little birds, though some cocks can be mean. The hens lay small white eggs, and go broody often during the spring/summer.

I think they are adorable. Very nice birds. It's great to get some of these different breeds over here. I bet those little ones lay great. When, they aren't broody.

And, saw on another site where someone was asking about their RIW's. Guess, mine isn't show quality. I really appreciated your comment on it. I was sold eggs saying, they were RIW's. I think these are very pretty. Rose comb or not.

I have a couple, they are beautiful, but the hen stopped laying two months ago idk why

ontopic: The chicken looks like my plymouth hen but those legs are weird

This is a bantam cochin frizzle about 5 weeks old. We think it's a boy. Any ideas?

Early comb development indicates very likely a cockerel.

Agreed.
