What kind of chicken is this?

[SaraShannon82]

Can anyone tell me what breed this chicken is? I am pretty sure it is a rooster. We bought it from tractor supply and it came in a mixed bunch.

I think it’s an orange soda drinker...

A production red cockerel.

It looks like a hen.

I should ask how old? Very important question.

So I bought some chickens from tractor supply. Mine just labels them egg layers. I’m pretty sure they are cinnamon queens (Rhode Island reds mixed with something I can’t remember) one rohde Island Red and a couple barred rock hens. The one Rhode Island Red that I got started growing darker feathers on her tail and I thought she would be a rooster but no she is a hen and that looks just like her except a lighter color. I’m putting my money on hen.

The reason I was thinking rooster is because it's a lot bigger and its comb is way bigger than the other chickens that I bought with it. We are showing chickens at 4h this year so I was hoping to find out what it is. We also had a barred rock in the ones we bought.

I believe around 8 weeks old.

Definitely a cockerel. Pullets don't grow a comb and wattles that big, this young.
