Not sure of the breed or gender.. anyone? Help?

This is a new chicken I just got. I ordered all Delaware chickens and this one looks different

What age? I'm thinking cockerel

I'm thinking cockerel also.
Breed unsure. Not looking like anything I know. Maybe a Delaware with a gene or two it shouldn't have.

Thank you. They are all 6 weeks old. I tried looking at the feathers but I'm not an expert

Thank you for your reply. They're 6 weeks old and I tried looking at feathers and other tricks I've seen online but I'm still not sure

At 6 weeks I'd put money on that being a rooster. That's a super red comb and large wattles for that age.

Delawares do have a barring gene. Because they are also Columbian (meaning the black is restricted to their extremeties), the barring is barely visible on pullets. It is more visible on Delaware roosters, but yours has much more barring than I would expect--it doesn't seem to have the Columbian restrictor at all and has light barring all over its body. I'm not 100% that it's a Delaware, and if it is, it has non-standard genetics.

But again, almost certainly a cockerel/rooster.

Thank you so much for you help. Time will tell
