Hen or Rooster?

It's quite a bit bigger than the others, but like I said, they're all pretty much from different hens. There's 2 RIR babies in there for sure, but this is the only one with any red at all so far. I'm a major newbie, so can you elaborate on "male vibes"? Thanks so much for the input.

I can't help but be vague because sometimes it's truly just a feeling, haha. I've raised multiple EE and RIR pullets so I do have some experience with the breeds. Here goes:
Very thick legs
Comb is already pinking up
Comb is long - this is a weird one but male pea-combed birds often have almost a longer "runway" for their comb as it will grow to take up more space.
Overall a bulky looking bird to me.

So none of these are set-in-stone male-specific traits, but all together, make this bird a likely male to me. But it's very early yet, and I could be wrong. Keep us updated!

Also, one thing - any chicks with yellow legs are probably RIR or Black Sexlink chicks. The Orpington babies will have grayish legs, since they're a white-skinned breed as opposed to yellow-skinned like the RIR.

This was one of my EE's at about 8-9 weeks, I believe? And her comb was quite small and had just begun to pink up. She also only had one "row" to her pea comb.
