BARRED ROO OR HEN?

[Wdsfaery]

I picked up 5 little Barred Rocks in April. They all should have hatched on or about Easter weekend.

One of my chickens seems to be devloping either much faster than the others or is a rooster. Her comb is much more vibrant red, and much larger than the others but her color is very much the same as the others. No spurs and I recall reading that one of their traits as males, was to have yellow legs and feet while hens have black on yellow.

I live in town and having a rooster is going to be a no no. Are there any other ways to tell? I've not heard any crowing but im also not sure at what age I would start hearing that if she does turn out to be a he.

Sorry to say, but this looks like a rooster...

I think there is a possibility that it is just a hen who is getting ready to lay. Do you have a better profile shot? I may be wrong of course, but I think it is a hen.
