Roo or not

No the combs are not red at all, more like a yellow orange and no Spurs that I can feel

Spurs won't start growing until they're older and sometimes females can have them. The feathers will develop much sooner than the spurs which is a more accurate way to sex them anyway.

I want to know what his type is he is yellow and has a,grey tail and some grey under him and some on his feathers do u know what type he is

Igkid, both of your birds look like pullets. Cockerels of this age usually have larger, redder combs and wattles.

Spurs are not a reliable method of sexing. All chickens have little spur nubs, and rooster spurs don't really become obvious until the bird is at least 4-6 months old. Even hens can grow spurs, though that is less common.

A 1 to 1 ratio can go very badly for the hen involved - she will likely be severely overmated which can lead to feather loss (from constant grabbing/digging with the male's beak and feet as he mounts her), stress, physical injury, etc. If you are intent on keeping just these two birds and keeping them together you need to keep a vigilant eye out for the first signs of abuse and take action immediately when you see them.

I agree.
