Golden Laced Polish hen or rooster?

[JennaVA]

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!

Very likely a cockerel based on the unruly crest.

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 . . .

I’m sorry that you have a rooster, snowball is stunning though.

I'm new to chickens so have no idea, but my Polish (6 weeks) is the most adorably thing ever same I can't imagine her being a "mellow" adult

I know right! My family almost didn’t believe me when I showed them what our girls would look like as grown hens!

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
