BARRED ROCK :: ROOSTER OR HEN? HELP!

[aoxa]

Blackie is not a pure barred rock rooster. But he is cute. I have a 20 week old cockerel that still hasn't crowed. He is extremely quiet. Not all roosters crow that young. Some crow as early as 6 weeks, some never crow. I do have one that has not crowed a day in his life, and he is 2 years old.

Maybe he isn't even a chicken

My Polish crows very infrequently and not too loudly, which is good because we live next door to the neighborhood chicken narc.

my 8 week old BR roo let out his first attempt at crowing yesterday.. he then proceeded to practice for the majority of the day. He's been quiet since. perhaps got it out of his system for a bit.

What a beautiful cockerel showing so much unique personality! I love his look.

Here is the chicken I'm questioning.....can anyone help? Hen or rooster??
I have other pics. No spurs, wattles, and small crow. Makes me think hen, but my white rock seems to have fertilized eggs.
