Help

[Tucker Chicka]

A few months ago i purchased some chicks, having been told they were hens. However, as they grew i noticed they looked like roosters and recently my wheaten maran has started crowing. However, i am not sure if my white leg horn is a hen or a rooster. It looks a lot like a rooster but has not been crowing and is quite small, let me know what you think?

How old? Looks like a rooster

Not sure of the exact age, between 4 and 5 months. I thought it might be, just hadn't heard it crow like the other.

Are there any saddle feathers? Could you get a full body picture?

Thanks for all your help, how could you tell it is female?

I can tell because she doesn't have any saddle feathers, A rooster would already have them by 4-5 months old, also, her legs are really thin which is another sign that she's a she
