Hi All! I got my chicks in mid-April and one of my lavender and one of my black orphingtons took a really long time to feather out. Now all of a sudden this week they are developing combs, bigger than all my other hens... Does that mean they are likely roosters? Pics below but they're blurry. Also if anyone has an idea on what kind of bantam I have I would love to hear them, she is almost 12 weeks old and is the size of a robin. I thought old English until this beard like thing appeared this week!!

Slower feathering and that big of a comb does make me think cockerel. Your little one looks like it may be an Easter Egger (usually sold as some spelling version of Americauna) by the slate feet. E.E.'s are smallish birds, though at 12 weeks my 2 were small I don't think they were that small, they are 17 weeks now and are just about 3 lbs or so.
