Is this a Speckled Sussex? Hen or Roo?

Can you get some better pictures of the saddle area? I can't make out the feathers in the photos well enough to give a confident opinion.

Here are more photos. Thanks for your assistance!

I believe this one is a cockerel.

You are right, it is a male.

I bought this chick with an assortment of various breeds (this is the only one of its kind I have). The farm said this was a Speckled Sussex, but so far, it doesn't look like other Speckled Sussexes I've seen online. Also, with those big tail feathers, could it possibly be a rooster? Sussexes are new for me so I'm not really sure what to expect from them.

Chick is 9, maybe 10 weeks old.

Don't mind the Red Sex Link photobombing the one photo.

The coloring looks like my Silver Leghorns, but maybe with bigger tail feathers.

Definitely not a Speckled Sussex. Looks like some chicks i got from Jenks Hatchery in Oregon. They were calling them Silver Laced Sussex. Though the tail looks slightly different.

I am thinking one of my 5-month-old Speckled Sussex hens is a rooster. No crowing, yet and she is very friendly with the other two, not challenging my other roosters but appears to have bumps on the backs of her legs. None have laid eggs. Is she maybe just a bit older?

Definitely a cockerel. Looks just like my Speckled Sussex boy.

A Sussex will have white legs, skin and meat. A Speckled Sussex chick looks like a Chipmunk with feathers.

So, it turns out she is an EE. She lays lovely green eggs. She's pictured with my other EE and aside from the beard they have basically the same feathering with one black and white and one orange and brown.
