Need help to ID breed

[GigRuth8]

Hi folks - Any help on what breed this guy is would be much appreciated! Got 4 chicks a couple weeks ago and 2 were Red Stars and the other 2 were supposed to be Black Stars. I’m assuming this isn’t a Black Star, closest thing I’ve seen it look like is a Golden Laced Cochin. Any thoughts?

A gold-laced Cochin would have a straight comb. That chick has a rose comb, so I'd say he's a Gold-Laced Wyandotte. Definitely male, with a comb that red, this early.

Lack of feathered legs says no Cochin. It looks like a gold laced Wyandotte cockerel to me.

It's good to receive my due.

Nah, you guys taught me most of what I know about chickens. Thanks.

Great info! Thank you! I’m assuming the other one is a pullet?

Could be. It's really easy to pick out obvious cockerels, but non-obvious cockerels just look like pullets until they start looking like cockerels (if that makes sense.)
