Help with male or female please 🙏🏼

Aloha from Hawaii!
I’m new to all of this and have been raising 3 chicks that were supposed to be female.
They are doing great but I’m concerned that one might be a cockerel.
They are all approx. 16-18 weeks old and this one is much bigger than the others.
She/he is also the boss of the other ladies. I know it’s difficult to tell but any ideas? No waddles that I can see but does have a few nettle green tail feathers.
Mahalo nui for any info.

I think you are right., because of the pointy feathers. But not sure.
And a warm !

That's a cockerel. He's got rooster color patterns.

This one is seriously confusing me. Would expect more from a cockerel of that age. No wattles because it's bearded. Ugh. I'm hesitantly going with cockerel.

Oh no

100% cockerel. You can see male specific feathers starting to come in on his back.

ugh, can I keep him in the coop with two hens he’s been raised with? I’m allowed to have roosters because our entire island is full of wild jungle fowl.
Will he hurt the hens? Now all the eggs will be fertilized! I wanted a peaceful life of egg laying hens. Do I need to make him a bachelor pad? He loves his ladies and his coop and we want to keep him.
