Is my 4 1/2 month old jersey giant a rooster?

[Hamiltonflock5]

My jersey giant was in a pullet batch that I got and I’m thinking that she is a roo. She towers over all the other hens and her vocal cords when making noise is really deep. She hasn’t crowed yet but she’s also 4 1/2 months old. She has huge waddles and comb and what I assume to be saddle feathers. And I really think that “she” is a he. Please let me know what you guys think. Thank you

When do you think he will start crowing because he hasn’t yet?

It depends on the individual bird honestly. I’ve had them crow anywhere from 8 weeks all the way till 7 months and anywhere in between. And I’ve heard of some waiting a year. And Jersey Giants in particular are slower to mature so it could be 6+ months.
