Is this a rooster?!

Can you get close up pictures of the bird I circled?

Can you explain why it’s a female?
I had a broody hen hatch 8 (mixed breed) eggs (not her own). They ALL look like females to me but my eggs are now fertilized so obviously atleast one in the bunch is a rooster. This and one other was the only one that I had suspicions of.

I thought for sure I’d be able to tell which ones are roosters and this wouldn’t be a problem but 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

What about this chicken?

I think I see thin hackle feather on the black bird (Ameraucana?) in the upper right corner behind the Welsummer and barred rock.. I cannot make out saddles from that far away though to confirm.

Example from google for reference.. usually not seen before 10-12 weeks and often well seen by 16 weeks.

It was a mix of Delawares, Ameraucanas, “Olive Eggers” and Welsummers
