Is it a Hen or a Rooster?

[alyshouse]

We have 3 hens, I think! One of them I'm worried will become a rooster and we would have to part with her/him. We live in the city limits. They are 3 months old and can someone tell me some general early characteristics to look out for. Her coloring is actually like the latest Pic of the Week. Is that a Rooster? Thanks

the comb on top of the head will be much larger he will have small waddles under his chin

Ok I have a chicken that has confused me since I got it. Rocky has a smaller comb than Rowdy and Foggy. Rocky's wattles are much smaller too. And then Foggy tried to climb upon Rocky. Could Rocky be a hen? I will have pics in a few days. I don't have a digital camera.
