Mystery chick, supposed to be RIR?

Definitely a rooster. Thanks for the updated pictures.

Yes... that's getting pretty clear, no crowing yet though! I haven't wanted to admit it with certainty because the hubs is pretty opposed to keeping any roosters... the sooner I admit it, the sooner they get a new home, lol.

New thoughts on breed/cross?
 
This boy's going to be headed to freezer camp soon (sad, because he's so pretty, but we can only keep one rooster and it makes more sense to keep an australorp vs an unknown mix).

Just thought I'd post another picture, he's almost 18 weeks here.

Buttercup, RIR, annnnnd something crested to give him that cute little tassel on his head....maybe a brabanter..or maybe something with a bigger crest...lol (just guessing by the way)
 
He still looks like a RIR/Polish mix to me. those double combs can happen when a single comb is crossed with a V comb, and his legs have paled considerably.
