What breed is surprise chick?

[Tib]

When picking up a half dozen Rhode Island Red straight run chicks, when we got home I was surprised to find an odd ball that my wife had them sneak in the box while I was getting bedding and feed.....Long story short, I have no clue what this is. I originally thought it was a Rhode Island Blue, now I'm thinking it's a silver laced Wyandotte, any of the experts want to weigh in? I've been able to with some confidence identified the roos and pullets of the RiRs, but this one is striking and while it has a comb with a slight amount of pink I'm not sure if its a roo. The RiRs seems much more straight forward. Its 7 weeks old.

Thoughts?

Sorry for the small pictures, raining and these came from the camera in the run.

I can't see the comb that well but it looks like either a Plymouth Barred Rock or Dominique cockerel.

Here is a head shot, compared to the RiRs it was late growing bigger and getting a little color - by two weeks. Not surprised to have different species with different timelines though.

Assuming that he has a single comb, which I still can't totally tell, he's a Barred Rock cockerel.

Yep he's got just one comb so I'll just go with Barred Rock. He's a good looking chicken though.

The name is confusing, but a single comb refers to the type/shape and not necessarily the number.

Single combs are usually seen on Leghorns, Legbars, Barred Plymouth Rocks

Rose combs are on Wyandottes, and Dominiques

tons of combs, tons of chickens for each comb type

Knowing which type of comb is on a bird can sometimes narrow down what breed or mix it is

That makes sense. Thank you for the explanation.

When I looked at the adult pictures of the two, the Dominique looked kind of like a flat topped comb not one falling over from being tall, if that even makes sense. Would that even be evident at this age? I'll be keeping him if he can manage the hens without drama due to them being RiRs, so I have plenty of time to watch it develop. It looks much lighter in color/paler than the RiR roos. I have placed to home the RiR roos, but this little guy is so entertaining to watch I want to keep him.

I'm still learning myself.
The other replies above are what I'd trust, honestly.
I believe at this young age (7 weeks), the size of the comb, and the bright red, is likely what is determining.

Cockerels combs tend to develop earlier than pullets, but certain breeds of pullets can develop quickly (my austra white pullet had me sweating for a bit.)

Sorry for the confusion haha. A single comb is the most common comb type, the traditional multi-pointed one:

A "rose" comb, which is what Dominiques have, is wide, flat, and bumpy. Like this hen has:

So if his comb looks like the first photo, he's a Barred Rock. And if it looks like the second, he's a Dominique.
