Rooster or Hen

[teva stewart]

Hi
I have a RIR hatched on the 14th of Feb, its the only one so I can't compare it with anything other then my two old girls who are about the same size but much fatter. Any guesses as to the gender?

the chicken in the front with his tail feathers toward us, see how they are a blueish color and curl? That is a good indicator for a roo.
