Is my chick a rooster?

[My3ChicksMBD]

Hello!!! I have three chicks. One of my chicks I think is a rooster. He is much bigger than my other two. He has a kinda red comb with six points and he's growing a waddle on both sides under his beak. Does he look like a rooster?

The guy I got them from said that they were all girls but I'm not sure. Thanks so much!!! ~My3ChicksMBD

My rooster was smaller then my girls - but that might have just been mine. How old is s/he? could you get a picture of the others that are females, or at least describe how big their comb/wattles are? Right now, I think it's a cock.

He's about 4 or 5 weeks old. And the females are in the second picture. The black and brown. The brown one doesn't have any bumps on its comb I don't think but the black one may have a few small ones. And they don't have waddles I don't think. Haha.

The guy I got him from said he was a cross-bird but I think he's a cochin I'm not 100% sure but that's the breed I'm thinking he is.

Okay - once he's older and more feathered out, if you post it here I'm sure others could tell confirm what breed he is.

Does he have feathering on his feet? If so, then he's probably a White Cochin cockerel. If not, then I would think that he would be a White Rock, White Leghorn, or even a Cornish X meat bird. In the case of the latter breeds, you won't know exactly what he is until he is older, around 12-14 weeks of age.
