Thank you all. Guess we will be changing her name from Kate to Kevin :) We are pretty new to this chicken thing and I am trying to educate myself. So....how can you tell? No crow yet and hasn't tried to breed. Is it the comb, the waddle, feathers? Thank you all again.

You're welcome. The very large bright red comb and wattles and the long pointed sickle, saddle, and hackle feathers are all screaming cockerel. Most cockerels begin crowing from 4-5 months, but sometimes it is considerably longer, and on rare occasions it can be almost a year.
