Looks like it could be part Australorp.. and I would say it's a rooster..

how can you tell its a rooster

Usually if the comb is that pronounced on a newly hatched chick...it's a rooster...

Let's see if we can figure this out HMMMMM?
Step 1: We admitted we were powerless over hatching—that our lives had become unmanageable. (check)
Step 2: Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. (nope

)
OK he is not past step one!
