Is this a hen or a roo?

We have a 8 week old chicken named Pattie. Pattie has grown very fast and is much larger than the other girls. If you could help to Identify their gender please post! I really need the help.

At 8 weeks old, you have a cockerel.

Can you further explain?

The size of the comb and wattles combined with how red they are at 8 weeks, points to your chick being a cockerel. Pullets should not have that much development or color at 8 weeks.

Thank you! Darn.

Cockerel. I say that because of how wide the white barring is. Females have wider black bars
