Is this Columbian Wyandotte a rooster or a hen?

I have 2 columbian wyandottes that were supposed to be pullets. One of them, the bigger of the two, has a comb that turned bright red as soon as it started to develop. They are about 12 weeks old right now. If this bird didn't have bright red wattles and a comb I would assume that it was a hen. Does anybody have an opinion? I will post a picture of the one I know is a pullet and the one I am starting to think may actually be a rooster. They are both the same age and we bought them both at the same store. These Columbians for some reason seem to be more difficult to sex correctly!
 
Congrats! You have a pair (1 boy, 1 girl), much easier to breed that way

Yay! They were supposed to be pullets, but my husband is excited that one of them is starting to look like a rooster. He really likes the wyandottes and wouldn't mind some chickies in the future. So far he seems to be super mellow too. He acts like all the rest of the hens. I haven't even heard any noise or crowing out of either of them. T
