Confused about a leghorn

[SarahoftheChick]

So all of my chickens are roughly the same age. One just layed their first egg yesterday. One of my white leghorns has a rather large comb and waddles compared to the other 2. We already had a rooster in the bunch and he crowed a month ago. I'm just curious how can I tell by the comb and waddle? The comb is twice as tall as the others and much more red. Wouldn't it be obvious? I will try to get a picture.

So here it is. It is acting all strange right now. Just sitting in the nest box. They usually just run from me but this one was just chilling in the nest box and even let me pet it a lot. I tried nudging it out of the box and it wouldn't really move.

Looks like a pullet starting to lay

oh, yay!! I was worried It was another rooster. This is by far the reddest comb of my flock and I just didn't want to believe I have another rooster. Do they just sit in the box like that if they are trying to lay?

Yup, i've seen them take anywhere from 15 mins to a hour, maybe even more when they are just learning to lay
