Is this RIR a rooster?

[Snoopy11]

Hello everyone!!!

My chicks will be 7 weeks old this Tuesday, and I am wondering... this RIR appears to be a rooster to me, but I could be wrong. What do you all think...?

I would appreciate any information you can give, and if you need better pictures, please let me know!!!

I am not an expert but it looks like my RIR rooster as a baby.

Yes, I was looking at pictures online, and this little guy (whose name is Ash...) certainly appears to be different from the others.

I do think I may have 1 other that looks questionable... out of the other 11...

Ash thinks Junior (i.e. Mr. Turkey)... is his father...

Good guess; how does this chick compare to others the same age, especially if you have more RIRs?
Usually if I think it 'might' be a cockerel, it turns out to be one.

Yes, that is true. The others are quite different in appearance...

Here is the other than I find questionable... although not as much comb as Ash...

I think these are all hens. I have others that I am 99% sure are hens...

Yep, Ash looks like a boy.

Oh thank-you guys so much!!! I truly appreciate your input!!! I love my little chicks so much, Ash has such a great personality...

I am so glad I started this hobby and am a member here!

Cheers!
