Rooster or chicken?

[joshisamazing]

Hey everyone I'm curious and I'm wondering if this is common but I have 3 chicks. 2 pullets one brown one black. And one straight run! There all about a week and a half old and the the yellow straight run her/his comb is a lot bigger and a little red ALREADY! There only 1 and a half weeks old?? I'm almost positive that it's a rooster. but idk I hear not to just go by that? I wanna know what you guys think? and if you had something smellier to this happen to you??

As you can see in the picture the yellow one (Wallace) has a pretty big comb compared to the brown pullet next to him. which is a lot smaller? I'm still not completely sure if it's a rooster I just wanna know from some of you guys and see what you think. I live in the city so if it is a rooster I'll prob keep him and get a rooster collar for him! c: that way he doesn't have to become soup or fried chicken!

First of all, you have a little male in front there, a cockerel for sure. Secondly, in reference to your title, a rooster is a chicken, just a male chicken.

Rooster is the male, hen is the female but they're both chickens.

The straight run is almost certainly a cockerel.
