What gender and type of chicken do you think this little floof is?

They are about 5 weeks old and just wondering if they are male or female and also what kinda chicken they might be...

That comb and those wattles tell me that's it's a boy, but I'm no expert. For the breed, it sort of looks like an Isa Brown to me.

Thanks... I also fear they may be a boy but was hoping that the breed maybe developed wattles at a young age irrespective of gender....

Live and healthy birds, even though they are boys, are better than nothing.

It is very true and he's so cute.. I need to stop naming them such girly names.. Maybe I'm jinxing it!

I recommend to everybody "especially ones with kids" not naming chicks until the are 6 months old. Nor getting attached to them until 6 months.
