Production Red 6 weeks old Hen or Roo ?

[TanyaR]

I have 3 Production Reds but this one is the only one with a really pinkish and pronounced looking comb , also has the biggest legs and feet as well. Do you think it's a hen or a Roo? ... Edit : Ok so I wont be going back to that feed store since I just called him and he lied to me when I bought these and he lied to me again on the phone just now . Thanks for letting me know it's not a RIR.

First of I'm pretty sure it is a production red not a Rhode Island Red. It does look like a cockerel.

Agree it's a cockerel.

don't get too bent out of shape about the feed store guy, they just sell them as what the hatchery says they are. A lot of hatcheries would say that's a Rhode Island Red. To you, as a backyard person, it really doesn't matter. A production bird isn't the same dark mahogany color and may lay more eggs than the "real" RIR, but for you that's going to be the only difference.
