Help with sexing a RiR. (I think)

[Wyochance]

Need help sexing. I think she/he is a Rhode Island Red about 8 to 10 weeks old. I hope it is a she but not sure due to redness on comb. Really appreciate any help, this being my first foray into having chickens.

Not sure. Mom has free rangers, just a few and enjoys the eggs but does not want chicks!

Unless a hen goes broody *and*is allowed to set a clutch (or you incubate) having a male does not =having chicks

A rooster can be a real bonus for free-rangers. A good one seriously ups their chances for survival against predators.
