17 week old - Hen or Roo?

[houseofpeeps]

We have been under the assumption that this chicken (named Tennis Ball) is a girl. We hatched her from an egg that was given to us (were told the egg was from an olive egger). She lives with 5 other hens and until recently one rooster. We rehomed the rooster over the weekend, and yesterday Tennis Ball crowed several times throughout the day. Ack! She has never crowed before and doesn't act "roosterly" like the rooster did, so we assumed she was a she. What say you all? Is she a she or a he?

That's a rooster! And he's a very handsome one too.
