If it were a hen, it would not have saddle feathers as shown in photo 3. This is clearly a cockerel.

X2. I went back to look at that 3rd picture, I actually don't see any saddle feathers, looks like normal hen feathering to me. My RIR roo's are always very obvious by the time they are around 4 weeks old, by the time they are 12 to 15 weeks there's no doubt. That is a hen.She's a RIR hen, no doubt about it!
