thanks.  i am new to this and figured it would be easy for you guys to tell.  he/she is def. a little more dominant and protective of the other two.  the other rir i have comb is almost the same size but yellow and black, so i started wondering about this one.  thanks again

One of my RiR hen had a hug comb and nice and pink at that age; however yours has waddles coming up already....so I say it's looking boy'ish. I tired looking for a pic, but am at work sorry. You can look at my post and I'm sure you'll find her....

That is what my boy looked like at that age.... I would say roo as well....

DH and I often look out of our kitchen window and try to remember what we did before we got our girls and boy... When I want to laugh I just walk outside with a bowl or bag of treats... 25 of the sweetest chickens in the world come running... We also have 5 rescue kitties that we love dearly...
