Worried our she is a he. Our county does not allow roosters. Was supposed to be all hens but heard Barnevelder's are hard to sex. Here are a few pictures, reading up on it I keep going back and forth. I don't want to get rid of him/her unless it's a roo 110%. Here are a few pictures, if you are 100% please let me know what shows it? If so, what's the best way to rehome him? I was thinking of posing on a facebook group if a local one exists for chickens, maybe call a farm or post an ad in my feed store. Appreciate any help you can provide, hopefully it's not, my kids are already pretty worried.

Oops sorry.
The wattles and comb are way too red and big for a 11 week old hen.
If you look closely at his back he is beginning to get rooster saddle feathers. His feet are quite big too. But he is very handsome.

Okay thank you so much, yeah I read about the feathers and was worried I might be seeing what they were describing. I was hoping I just wasn't understanding. But this is the confirmation we needed.
I think we are going to try a no crow collar when the time comes as a last ditch effort and if our neighbors are okay with us attempting it.
I appreciate both your responses, I wish the answers were different but appreciate knowing for sure before we start hearing crowing =]
