We bought what were supposed to be six day-old pullets back in May, but I'm pretty certain that Lolo (the one on the right) is actually a cockerel. The others (Columbian Rocks and Rhode Island Reds) have very minimal, light-coloured combs. Lolo's comb is even bigger now than it was from this photo from two weeks ago, and s/he has always been much braver than the other chicks (will even chase the full-grown hens and s/he's only 7 weeks old).

Is there the slightest chance that Lolo is a female or is it 100% certain that we have one more rooster in our flock?

Thanks guys...I figured as much, was just hoping there was a slight chance I was wrong. We already have two roosters and really don't need/want a third. Hopefully he ends up as friendly as our other roos so that we can keep him. We managed to rehome a rooster last year, but I'm not sure I'd be able to rehome another one as easily (friends of ours had just moved to a hobby farm last year and happened to need a roo right at the right time). He's also my 3 year olds favourite chick - he'd be devastated to lose him.
