10.5 week old-hen or roo?

Hi all!

I've got a puzzle... By most standards this would be a roo, but he or she has not done any crowing nor displayed any other rooster behaviors (other than maybe some different clucking sounds then the others? But not sure if that's a thing for roosters). Please see attached. The question is for the buff. They are all Japanese bantams and I love them dearly and am saddened that she may be a he, although I think it's inevitable.

With a comb like that at this age, I would say roo.

That's definitely a cockerel. Most cockerels dont crow this early.

I'm going to vote cockerel.

It's a cockerel for sure
