Is my 17 week old Barred Rock a Roo or Hen

[aussiesue]

Hi, my BR hatched from egg is now 17 weeks old, and am hoping a hen, but by it's size thinking maybe Roo. Quite timid, and runs from the other chooks. no crowing. Turned 17 weeks today, so hoping someone can help. It can maybe stay if a Roo, and not aggressive when the hormones kick in, but have an x Australorp Rooster already.

Yup cockerel

Sorry, but I believe he's a cockerel.

Thank you for your replys, thought that might be the case. Oh well, will see how he fits in with my existing rooster (he was a mistake also, but not aggressive to humans at all).
