Barred Rock Hen or Roo?

[BlackIce]

We’ve had these guys since mid April so they’re almost full grown and I was pretty sure all 6 of my Barred Rocks were hens but when I took a second look at the one hen her comb seemed to be twice the size and much redder than the other 5. We got bantams the same time as them and one of them happened to be a rooster and he’s been crowing for about a month now so if she’s a rooster I think shed be crowing as well. Just want to confirm that she is indeed a she.

The one in question:

What the others look like:

I think she is just getting ready to lay. It's like she went through puberty.

You will know if she/he either starts to lay eggs or starts to crow.

She's a pullet closest to point of lay.

Be glad she is a pullet and not a cockerel. Sometimes the late bloomers will surprise you.
