What is the breed and gender of this chicken?

[chickensssss]

Hey all,

I'm new to chicken farming. I bought two Barred Rocks from the local roller mill, but one of them looks VERY different now that they're about two months old. Could it be a Black Australorps? Can anyone identify its gender? There are few more pics on my blog here: http://www.kenilgunas.com/2012/05/more-chickenness.html

Silver Laced Wyandotte!

And it's a little rooster.

Thanks Chicmom. We didn't expect to have a rooster in our group (we have one adult Barred Rock hen and four more chicks in addition to this Wyandotte). Hopefully they'll all get along when they grow up...

It looks like a silver laced wyandotte. There is NO WAY it is a barred rock....

That picture does not have me thinking rooster. It's hard to say though. The comb is red, but my SLW's comb was red at that age, and she is 100% woman

Definitely a Silver Laced Wyandotte!

Here is my girl at a couple months old.

Thanks everyone! Silver-laced Wyandotte it is! Sounds like we're still not sure what its gender is. Here are a few more pics if someone else wants to take a stab.

This thread saved me from asking about 2 of my own chicks.
