Is my RIR a Rooster or Hen?

[Cark]

I am having a hard time being able to tell if my Rhode Island Red chicken is a rooster or a hen.. can anyone help?

It does have some darker feathers coming in on its neck/back and has a fairly defined comb and wattle, which makes me think it is a rooster. What are your thoughts??

Its not a great picture, maybe if we could see him standing, but so far it looks very much like a rooster.

And not a RIR. I agree a better photo(s) would help on the sexing.

Op bird is a cockeral, maybe some type of hatchery red but not a rhode island red.

Rooster or hen?



These are two additional pictures of the same chicken I first posted at the start of this thread. Are these any better for identifying? I am still having a tough time deciding if it is a rooster or a hen. What are your thoughts? Also, I think it is a rhode island red, at least that is what they guy I bought it from told me.
