Do I have a roo?

[davidcho]

First time chick raiser here.
I have two 3 weeks old New Hampshire Red chicks.
I am wondering if the one on the right is a rooster.
Its comb is a bit taller than the other one and has extended more to the top of head.
I can definitely see the other one has much smaller comb.
Would this comb pattern indicate anything about their sex or is it too early to say?

Thanks!!!

It may be a cockerel, but its still too early to know for sure.

I agree, but I think the one on the right is a hen and the one on the left a rooster.

I have had females develop their combs are different rates, some faster than others so a fast growing comb does not always mean you have a boy.Can you see any waddles yet? If so, are they red? My Golden Laced Cochin Bantam was obviously a Roo at 2.5 weeks. He had bright red waddles forming already at that age. Here's a photo for reference.

Well, it was too ealry to say.
Both turned out to be girls and one started to lay eggs.
