Is my chick a rooster?

[MamaHauk]

We have three chicks. All about 6 weeks old. This one has a huge comb compared to the others. It is a RIR. I'm worried it's a rooster. :/

Do you have any pictures?

I couldn't figure out how to post a pic before.

It sure looks like a rooster to me. It has a much bigger comb then the rest

I am having the same problem with my RIR's that are suppose to be pullets. I have found a whole bunch of nothing online, and seen pictures of young RIR's that look the same (with big red d combs) that turn out to be a hen....I would guess Roo for you. I'm in denial on mine....mine are 9 weeks old now. We had a cream legbar Roo that at 5 weeks was no doubt a Roo. I wish I could be of more help. I love roosters but had a very mean one and do not want to go through that again!

Up right tail feathers, longer looking neck and feathers coming of the back over wings reinforces my theory he is a rooster. He all so looks like he has spur bubs( or buttons) on his legs. But I'm no expert.

Two different RIR's. They were very hard to photograph today! I can try again later when I have a helper.
