barred rock hen or rooster? saddle and profile pictures included

[louloubean]

ok, i think i ended up with a rooster.

here's a saddle close-up, i see rounded edges on feathers, no points.
but are the cuts in to the feathers the points? i don't know.

s/he is 18 weeks old, no crowing, no eggs.
hmmm.
what do YOU think?

That looks like a hen to me, and 18 weeks isn't too old - I'll bet she lays soon.
