How old are they?

Here are the pictures for those who don't want to venture to the album:






It's a boy. Not even my laying hen has a comb that red :/

Not positive on the age. I've had it a month and have had people say roo and others say pullett. It's comb and wattles turn pink to red.

It's still relatively young. I see it's getting rid of the down in the face, so under 12 weeks for sure, but above 7.. I'm going with roo, because it wouldn't have saddle feathers at this age anyway.
