Rhode Island Red giant pullet or roo?

[chickmeister]

I have a group of chicks that are supposed to all be pullets but my RIR is larger and more aggressive than the rest. Also her/his comb is starting to turn red as are her/his wattles (my ISA Brown and Leghorn still have very light colored combs). This is my first flock and I would greatly appreciate your help. I have two pics, one of just the chick in question and one with said next to the California Grey Leghorn and Silverlaced Wynadotte that are the same age (8 weeks today

) for comparison. Thanks!

I have a 10 week old RIR roo and yours looks alot like mine! Mine was a sexed pullet and turned out to be roo too.

I really appreciate the quick responses. I'm still crossing my fingers and hoping that's s/he's in fact a she but it doesn't look good. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for spurs and my ears open for crowing. Thanks again everyone.

A Rooster I got six RIR pullet chics this year and 1 turned out to be a roo. You could tell pretty early that he was a Rooster.

I'd say Roo as well......plus it doesnt have the fluffy down on its butt lol...the darker feathers on its tail to me looks like the beginnings of sickle feathers......
