Production Red, Hen or Rooster?

Hi all, i've got a production red bird recently, and I think its a hen, but a couple things have me wondering.

It's bigger than my other two birds, which are RIR and Buff Orpington Hens. And her (his) comb/wattle is bigger than I've seen on any other bird I've had, including a White Leghorn I had a few years back. There's also a little black on her/his tail feathers. I'm not sure how old s/he is, I'd guess maybe four or six months? I haven't heard much more noise from my birds than normal, and Id've thought if it was a rooster it would've started crowing already?

So, hen or rooster?

Hen, no cycle feather in the tail
 
thanks all! I was guessing hen, but starting to secon guess myself because she is so much bigger than my other hens, and her comb and wattle are also much larger than the other birds.

Glad she's what I thought!
