Not sure of breed or gender.

I bought a dozen chicks from TSC 3 months ago. 2 Australorps, 3 Black Sex Links, 3 Olive Eggers, 2 Buff Orpingtons, and 2 Silver Laced Wyandottes; all pullets. My kids said they heard this one crow a couple of times and because of the comb and wattle are concerned it is a he. As soon as my husband saw it, he thought it was a Barred Rock. In the last two pics there are a SLW and an OE and I know it does not look like either of those ones. Also, it seems to be the tallest of the chickens. Any help would be very appreciated.

I don’t have any experience with chickens that don’t have a single/standard comb but if you heard it crow then it’s definitely a rooster! Sorry I cant help much but guessing by the color and size of the comb only, I’d say it’s probably a roo.

I'm not 100% sure it did crow. My kids claimed they heard it crow. But I'm not sure.

How old is it? It does look like a cockerel. It has a pea comb, so it is not a Barred Rock.

I'd say that is a cockerel.

It can't be a Cuckoo Maran; they have single combs.

Not sure here but I’d guess Olive Egger boy. OE could be cuckoo maran (single comb) crossed with Easter Egger (pea comb).
