Hen or Roo

[Rooski456]

Purchased this Barred Rock from a breeder hatched March 10 as a pullet. Chick is right at 4 weeks old. I do not have any other barred rocks so unsure if any of this is breed related but I’ve noticed many differences from the rest of my birds. This one is significantly smaller than all other birds I have from the same hatch date. I have noticed a much more significant comb, shorter wings, as well as little to no tail feathers. Is this something more breed specific or is my little she actually a he? Attached pictures from today as well as two from a week ago. Any insight is much appreciated.

He looks like a rooster to me. He has a lot of white on him, and his comb is large.

I’ve been thinking so for awhile now, the comb is what really made me start questioning it!
