looks like a male to me
they can be hermaphrodite and intersex and it can get really complicated at the genetic level. Have a look at thisI'm very confused mate. The other rooster who's the same age as this one looks slimmer and crows as well. This one neither lays eggs nor crows. This one is the fattest among all. On top of that, lazy as well. Can chickens be gay too?
As the crowing one is in charge, the bigger one has no responsibilities and can enjoy his junior life.The other rooster who's the same age as this one looks slimmer and crows as well.
This would be the reason he does not crow yet. Smaller breeds develop much faster and larger breeds often need several more months to reach maturity.This one neither lays eggs nor crows. This one is the fattest among all. On top of that, lazy as well.
What do you think of a tentative time for a larger breed rooster to start crowing? And we sure that it's a rooster?Looks like a late developing male to me.

The smaller but more mature male is suppressing his development, so there is no telling when he will start to crow as this would immediately bring the dominant male's attention to him which then could start to fight him.What do you think of a tentative time for a larger breed rooster to start crowing?

Thanks for the clarification. But it's comb is smaller than that of hens but when it was the first one among all to grow comb and wattles. And he looks larger than hens too, tbh.The smaller but more mature male is suppressing his development, so there is no telling when he will start to crow as this would immediately bring the dominant male's attention to him which then could start to fight him.
Large fowl cockerels often try to stay under the radar to avoid being attacked and ostracised from the flock.
I am sure that he is a rooster, his male feathering is evident.
