Help...Rooster or hen

[howie1963]

I have a Black Austrolorp that is crowing like a rooster. However, I have looked at numerous pictures and have read numerous threads about how to tell them apart and everything is telling me I have a hen. I have a total of 5 chickens that are about 19 weeks old and this particular Black Austrolorp has always been the most dominant. I have included pictures and am hoping that someone can tell me definitively if I have a hen or rooster. If it is a hen is it normal for the hen to crow like a rooster?

Rooster, he has saddle feathers (those thin pointy ones in front of his tail) and male tail feathers (longer and more curved than the girls have)

There is absolutely no doubt you have a rooster there.

I'm not sure why "everything is telling me I have a hen." Every single sign on this bird is that of a rooster, not a hen. Here are the signs of a rooster in your photo, and a pic of a full-grown Australorp hen for comparison. I took the photo of the hen from http://youngspatch.webs.com/chickensbreeds.htm, and added notes.

Everything WoS said, plus, well, the crowing. Roosters crow. Sorry.
