RIR Rooster or Hen?

[F650]

Hello,

Could anyone help me identify what gender this RIR is? She or he is about to 3 months old next week. We bought 4 pullets from a local feed and seed store so we thought "she" was a she but she is showing different physical characteristics and behaviors compared to the other chickens.

Her comb developed what seems like overnight and is much more developed than the others. The others barely have a comb. Hers is also much more red. She is also developing what I think are more pointed hackle and saddle feathers but I am not sure.

I tried to get good pictures, but she doesn't like the camera too much.

Thanks!
Dan

Production Red cockerel. See those shiny, dark feathers on the back? Those are the male saddle feathers coming in.
