Rooster In The Hen House?

[jazzguitar]

Hi everyone.. we bought four RIR's this spring and were told at our local feed store they were pullets.. okay so now they're growing up and laying everyday (two or three eggs every day) but one of them looks a little rooster like with more a little larger crown... but it's not crowing or anything... just wondering about the body size of rooster in this breed... if this is a rooster it is smaller than the hens.... any suggestions? Thanks!

Do you have a picture? In RIR the roosters generally have darker more upright tails, as well as all roosters have hackle and saddle feathers.
