I am fairly new to chickens (this is my second flock) and I was wondering if my 4 month old Rhode Island Red chicken is a rooster. I purchased 1 other chicken at Tractor Supply, and I got them out of the female only section. My other chicken is a black sex link, and I know she is a hen. I’m skeptical about this Rhode Island Red being a hen. In the pictures, it has a red comb and wattle, and it’s tail feathers resembles a roosters. Thoughts?
 
It looks like a pullet to me. She's also very pretty!
I can understand you being confused; her comb and wattles are big and red.
One of my ISA Reds, Najika, has one heck of a comb. She almost looks like a rooster, but she's been laying since her first summer.
Good luck with your flock.

I agree with everyone, I believe she's a red sex link pullet. :)
And usually the employees at the feed stores (Tractor Supply especially) don't usually know a whole lot about chickens. It can make chick shopping quite an adventure :D
