My roo insists on Third Date...
Anyway, the length of leg, rate of feathering up, saddle and hackle feathers are more indicators. I'm with the others...a pic would be helpful

To Post Photos On BYC Forum:

The easiest way to display your coop, chickens, and other fun pictures on BYC is to use the BYC Image Upload Tool . Here are the steps:

1) Click on the "Uploads " link at the very top of every page (in the blue menu bar).
2) Once the "Upload image" page loads, click the "Browse" button and find the jpg or gif picture on your computer and then click the "Submit" button.
3) Your image will be uploaded (and resized if needed) and you will be presented with a thumbnail of your picture along with two image code options:

Thumb - This is the code you use to show a small version of your image that can be clicked to show the full size image.
Image - This is the code you use to show the full size image directly in your post.

4) Copy the image code and paste it into your post.

Or your redder, larger comb could indicate a hen getting ready to lay. Are the legs thicker, and does it have long, pointy feathers from the neck and in front of the tail? Those are roo things. Really need a pic

Someone posted a roo australorp for comparison above - here's my 26 week australorp pullet pic for comparison.. If the comb and wattles are bigger than this one and the tail is floofier my guess is you have a roo.
