I purchased 2 rhode island reds today they are supposed to be hens. When I got them home I noticed that one has a significantly larger comb than the other. UGH! Here are pictures of "Patricia" with the small comb, and "Princess Frannie" with the larger. Anyone have ideas?
 
Welcome to BYC - the first bird pictured may very well be a cockerel. That's a fairly significant comb compared to the other bird.
 
I'm thinking cockerel. Did you buy them privately and were you guaranteed pullets? If so, return that bird and get another pullet.
