New to Chickens

[jenna2030]

Hi, I started a small garden in my backyard and decided to get chickens.  I am very nervous but excited about this idea. So far they are 5 weeks old and I just put them out into their outside coop.  I have 3 Americaunas from what I was told at the feed store.  I am stressing because one of my chickens is much larger than the other two and I don't know if it is a rooster or just a big chicken.  I come from NYC and know nothing about chickens or gardening.  I have just been reading alot and trying to follow instructions.  How do I know if I have a rooster?

If you have a rooster u will see a large comb and wattle. Also the roosters wings are littler than hens when chicks
