It looks like a Red Sex-link.  If so, I think it's a pullet.  

 

Do your other "red pullets" have the white in the tail or are they solid red or with black tails?

That looks like it is a hen to me.

That looks like my hens, but they have black feathers on the tail, and not white.   I think, hope, they are hens :/

thanks all!

none of them have black on the tail.

So, even though they are all the same age, one can have a comb that's twice the size as the others? interesting! thank you!
