    Can someone tell me if this is a rooster or a hen!

    First time chicken owner. We have 3 supposedly red sexlink hens. I'm concerned one may be a rooster. It's bigger than the other two, it's legs are different, and it has a large red crest on its head. The other two have small light colored crests. This one also is much louder than the other two...
