Cockerel?

It is not crowing. It is a very docile chicken. I do have an older hen that crows when she wants to come out, but no rooster.
I know that it has several roo traits, but it also has hen traits, and I think the saddles look rounded and but the hackles are a mix.

OK, here is an update. I felt better after the post by fivetoed, but today, when I took new pics, her feathers look to me like a cockerel, even though her face still looks female.

The brown bird's face looks like the white bird also pictured, but more male-looking feathers have appeared IMO, and the tail is filling out. She also has really pretty iridescent and shiny feathers. Again, she's a barnyard mix and looks like she has genes from all over the place.
She is now about 13-14 weeks.
Rooster 🐓 sometimes mine don’t crow until we’ll at or even after 8 weeks.
