That much red comb at 10 weeks, in my opinion it's a roo. Sorry!

No apologies necessary, I'm ok with this one being a roo. He is a sweetheart. I thought he looked like a roo as well, but then someone asked me if I was sure it was a roo because their own australorp hen had a very large, red comb and wattles as well. It just started to make me question mine. Thanks for the input!
 
Yep, cockerel. At this age, that much comb and wattles is male. A mature hen will have about that much, but not at this young age.
 
Hi. So I won two chicks at a raffle...they are about 6 weeks old. I know the red one is a rir, but the other one....its a lot smaller than the rir, despite them being the same age. It kinda has an old english game bantam pattering to it. Could it be an old english, or a mut, or somethinge else? Sex guesses would be great too! :)
