I bought two EE pullets for my daughter to add to our flock of RIR but I have a feeling that one of the pullets might end up being a rooster. I took some pictures of the comb. They are almost 5 weeks and to me it looks like it might be showing some pink color. I am new to chickens and I got most of my info from this forum.

 
Yea I'm afraid it's a he too. This might sound like a dumb question but do all chickens have spurs and just roosters have longer ones?

All chickens have spur nubs. They grow larger as the cockerels mature, and upon occasion pullets/hens can grow spurs. Your chick appears to be a cockerel but not 100 % on that.
