We have 7.5 week old chickens, three of which are Silver Laced Wyandotte "hens". I realized the other day that one of the SLW "hens" stood out from the others and was also a bit more aggressive than his/her counterparts. Am I correct in suspecting that the chicken on the right is a rooster? Considering we ordered 16 female chicks, the percentages would say that at least one or two would turn out to be roosters. Thanks!

Oh boy! That much comb at this age is all boy. You'll also see his coloring come in different than the hens, that's also a giveaway. More white on the wings.
 
Yes, the one on the right is a cockerel-see how he also has more black around his neck than the pullet?
