7 month old hen or rooster?

[Cellochick]

In april, I got four new cochin chicks. I had ordered all females, but I had split my order with a friend, and she ordered the same breeds and colors in straight run. So we had an interesting time trying to vent sex them. Only one is for sure a rooster, and he started crowing at 3 months. Two are defiantly hens, they are much smaller and haven't started laying yet. But one is the same size as the rooster, and has the feathers of a rooster, but it isn't crowing, doesn't have spurs, and its wattles and comb look like a hens.

Shes the larger brown one, the buff is the rooster,

Looks like a roo to me... Maybe just developing slowly

It's a rooster. A dominant rooster can suppress the actions of a subordinate. By the look of his neck and tail I would guess that the dominant cockerel has been giving him a rough time.

That is definitely a cockerel, partridge hens have different colouring

Definite cockerel. Mine is 16 weeks and hasn't made a peep because there are older pullets. Here is my partridge cochin cockerel Oliver, we thought we got an Olivia.
