Male or female ? 10 wk old

Why is there comb not even close to the other two comb size it’s almost non existent and there’s nothing underneath

Well, he has a pea comb, and pea combs are smaller and aren't as large.

What are the other breeds? A split comb or a single or a double or a pea look very different. Maybe the others have a different type o comb?

Oh I’m not adding any lol I have 4 females 2 males and this question mark lol I just put em to bed and got good close ups

These are my first set of chickens and I won’t be adding any. I hatched 8 gave away an obvious male he was not very nice. I have two def males.

If you aren’t adding, hope that he is a she, and cut the Roos down to one or zero. If one, consider (not adding) but replacing hens to get to 1:7. Those two options are going to be the most likely to work out for you.

So, zero Roos with however many hens.

Or one roo, with hopefully at least the seven you were planning.

Theyre mixed breeds . other two are def obvious they crow in the morning and l have had big combs for weeks lol attacked pic

Ratios are going to be off either way. 3:4 or 2:5 will typically be problematic? How old are the 2 and 4? Have they learned to coexist or is this a new flock? If the two and four have adjusted and been stable for a length of time (year or two?) I’d be nervous about adding ANY bird and upsetting the equilibrium.

New , first and only I won’t be adding. 10 wks all hatched together 1 I got rid of he was not a nice male

They have single combs, and those are much bigger than pea combs.

Also, I think I see 3 males in that picture...
