Can any one tell if this is a hen or rooster?

In my terribly limited experience I find that any young bird with red on their face is a rooster.

Hens have red on their face see:

Not when they are 6 or 7 weeks old they don't...which is why I said any young bird with red on their faces...
Pullets will have peach or orange looking tiny combs, while cockerels will be red from the start. I know that when hens reach laying age their combs turn red, but before laying age they are not at all red. I have seen the change happen too many times already.

This is my pullet at around 5 months.

A very good way to tell if they are Cockerels or pullets is to pull out their wings and if the inner feathers are pointed at the end, that means its a cockerel.

This is why we always ask how old a bird is. Age is often key to gender id.
