He or she is about 15 weeks old.  He/she does crow in the morning, but only a few times and I've heard that in a flock of all hens that sometimes the dominant hen will crow.  I've posted a few more photos of my little gal/guy below.

Since he's crowing and has definite hackle feathers, it's pretty clear that he's a cockerel even without a good shot of the comb.
I lost my whole flock due to poor biosecurity. Read about it here: Infectious Laryngotracheitis, and learn from my mistakes so it doesn't happen to you.

Definitely a roo, but it's a mix EE 

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change; 
courage to change the things I can; 
and wisdom to know the difference.

In Jesus name Amen :)

Thanks everyone.  I have a question, can anyone tell me what breed my roo was mixed with to get that tuft of feathers on the top of his head?  Is there any breed where the females have that trait?  I just think it's cute!
