I hatched out a bunch of chicks from eggs I got from a friend who has tons of different kinds of chickens. Can anyone tell me what kind of chicken this is and do I have a hen or a rooster? Thank you!

I think I see Light Brahma and something else in there. Maybe an Ameraucauna. Colombian Wyandotte, too, maybe.
It has the coloring, size, and feathery feet of the Light Brahma,
The cheek tufts of an Ameraucauna (could be something else),
And the pea comb and black points of the Colombian Wyandotte.
IDK.
 
Ohhh. I do see some yellow streaks on the bird's wings, and I believe that Faverolles have those cheek tufts. Looks like a cockerel. Do you think it's a Brahma/Faverolles mix?
No. He could have both of those breeds in him, but he must have some other breed(s) in him as well. He has a walnut comb, which can either come from another chicken with that comb or a pea x rose comb cross.
 
I know. I see that there's less Faverolles coloring than Light Brahma, so do you think that there could've been a Faverolles mix and a Light Brahma involved?
