It's likely you will end up with one crawdad.

I cant help with the ID but I went to petco and picked up 2 crayfish which I will also need ID on but they had 2 of those Red colored crays as well, I tried to buy them but they told me they were $20 a piece because they were a "blue lobster", they looked very similar to the one you have pictured but I know very little , well nothing, about telling cray species. I do know that the patterns seem to resemble the commercial blue crays Procambarus Alleni.

Heres a link that you may find useful.

The photograph has very limited information. From I think I see, it appears to be a paper shell Orconectes immunis. Body is high stationed and chelae are mottled. A top view would be better if it is a female but good view of the gonopods would be better if is a male.
