20 weeks old, mixed breed. None of us can decide breed or gender on this sweet fowl. Any opinions are welcome! This secretive clucker has not been seen laying or crowing??? I know it's 2020 but I like my poultry to pick a definite gender!

At 5 months of age I'd expect to see more male characteristics if its a cockerel. There is a few colored (orange-or am I seeing things?) hackle feathers like those of a male. If you're sure of the age it may be a he/she or a very late bloomer and will be a Henry .

Pullet nearing POL.

Near lay pullet. No crowing right? It looks to have speckled Sussex, and RIR in there somewhere, although it honestly could be a Mix of anything. Beautiful either way.

Looks like it will be a hen someday

Female, most likely will lay brown eggs, due to the ear coloring. Also see the bars in the feather pattern? I'd say this is a Barred Rock cross with a chicken that has red plumage.
