Hen? Rooster? Too soon to say?!

[tmh59]

Hi! New to chickens and have five almost four-week-old chicks. Supposed to be all hens, but I've been watching Tricia here because her comb is bigger than the rest and I’m also wondering if she’s getting wattles. Wondering: Do you think she’s (or he's!) a rooster or too soon to say? Any help appreciated!

If it's getting waddles that quick, it's probably a roo.

He's likely a cockerel.

From personal experience, the ones who's combs grow that fast are always roosters. The wattles look pinkish red which is also telling me rooster. What breed are they supposed to be?

Supposed to be Rhode Island Red! I have another one, same age and much smaller comb

Updated photos. (In the group shot, Tricia -- the possible rooster?! -- is back left, while the other RIR is front left.) Thoughts?

Tricia looks male to me, given how much bigger and redder"her" comb is than the other ones.
