Do I have a roo or hen? She/he is a 7-1/2 weeks old speckled Sussex named Diamond. See attached photos. We have a Dorking rooster already...which was our straight run mystery chick, and 7 hens including Diamond...I can't have two roosters, with so few hens! What do you think?

We actually need a better photo of the bird standing on its own, full profile.

That comb is pretty large for 7 1/2 weeks...but it doesn't have a lot of color.

There are other things that can help identify male or female, but we need a full body shot to see those.

Thought these photos uploaded too. Not a profile but may be useful?
They're already tucked in for the night will try to get a profile pic tomorrow.

A photo taken in a natural, standing position with no body parts blocking the bird is needed. If worried about holding still you can use a small pile of bait (treats) to hold its attention in one place
