This Speckled Sussex (front) has a slightly larger comb than the other large hens. At 7 1/2 weeks perhaps a comb starting to appear is normal for hens too? OR is she possibly a cockerel? I hope not. She is so pretty. Thanks for your input!

 
Well...I can't really see her well in this picture but a larger comb than the others doesn't necessarily mean cockerel. I'm not seeing a comb that screams boy, but it is hard to tell in the picture. A side shot would be good.
 
Here are a few more shots. Thanks for the input!

Thanks for the info. My feed store gives a 90% chance of pullet in the larger breeds and only 50% with bantams. Hence the two bantam Roos I've got to get rid of.
