I would like to know if this is a rooster or hen. It is around 4 or 5 months old. I think it's a Roo but not positive. I would love your help.
Thank You
 
No hackle or saddle feathers there, and a rooster would have those at such an age. Looks like a Production Red hen with a large comb.

I'm just not so sure with this one. I was just wondering because if the longer and straighter saddle feather from the other chickens and it has to be wherever I am like it is making sure I'm not a threat to the other chickens. There is not a size difference or a difference in comb and waddle size with that one and my other RIR. That is what confuses me about it

Here is another shot of the saddle area it is the darker red one I'm talking about.

I think i can see at least one saddle feather - not so sure since other more experienced people don't agree! Any spur development?

Rhoderunner makes a very good point. If all of your others have the same size comb...Guess you will know soon!
