Golden Laced Polish hen or rooster?

Ha, same! I caught my mother-in-law posting a recent photo of her to Facebook with the caption "apparently this is what she's supposed to look like" 😂 Sure she's a teenager but she is resplendent I think :)
She is still so little! Does she make in between cheep and big girl noises like honking? 🤣
 
9 week old Golden Laced Polish. Feathers are looking a little pointy but we've never had this breed before. No dominant behavior, actually one of the more "stand-offish" of the group of 8. Pretty sure our other 7 are hens. Thanks for any suggestions. We've just moved to an area where a roo may be more tolerated so not the end of the world.
thanks in advance!

Definitely a cockerel.

Ok, so not alot of question that she is a he :(. Again, we are going to give it a go since we only have 2-3 neighbors within earshot and they are all in love with "her". Any encouraging words on Polish roosters being quieter, or less aggressive? I guess I'm off to research having a cockerel in a flock. This is our 9th year of having chickens and our 5th chick group, so I guess it was bound to happen . . .
Thanks for the input. Also happy to hear from anyone who thinks we still have a snowball's chance that it's a hen . . .
Unfortunately, my cockerel was very loud and very aggressive, but really it depends on the cockerel. I hope he stays sweet!:fl
 
I would describe most of her noises as being "meep meep." They match her over the top ridiculous cartoon character personality (I try not to have favorites but I sure do love her lots already).
I tried not to have a favourite this time, then Peanut came along. :lau
