Is this a RIR, a NewHampshireRed or something else?

are we sure its a hen? It's comb looks so much bigger then my cochins. Its so hard to tell when you don't have much to compare it with. Look at the pic of it with the other roosters does it still look like a hen? I don't want to say anything to DH unless I am pretty sure.
 
Here is a 16 week old NHR pullet for comparison to yours:

I've got to say... this thread is most interesting. Its started off as one breed and has gone through as many breed transitions as it has genders....

Its funny to watch everyones opinions unroll...
 
NH should have black in the tail feathers.
Could be a Partrige rock and Buff Orpington cross.
 
He/Now thinking She, does have black in his/her tail feathers and around his/her neck you just cant see it very well in the picture.
Thanks everyone Who knows what it is I really can't decide. I think I need to go look at pics of 14 week old chickens especially RIR and see about all my "roosters" only a few have the big combs I am seeing on here.
Thanks again everyone.
