Anyone have an idea what I have?

Is THIS a rooster? This is a 12 Week Old Pullet. We call him/her Sunshine. This is the largest chicken in our Coop. And if this IS a rooster, can anyone tell me at what age they'll start crowing?

Mine started crowing at 4 months or 16 weeks. The roosters grow longer saddle feathers down their neck & back around 14 weeks. This one doesn't seem to have them. ( yet?) Also their tail feathers get longer and curl over, where the hens tail feathers sort of make a crown. If you knew the breed you could look at roo's to compare. As a guide, my rooster started crowing right around the time the hens started laying. Here's the rooster and hen at 16 weeks. 0117201652.jpg
