Hi, I am wondering if anyone can tell me if my ameraucana chicken is a rooster? Her name is Sweetie and my husband and I bought her among others a couple months ago as chicks/pullets. We are new to raising chickens. We have 11 total and we know the odds are likely to having a rooster. He heard crowing one morning around 5 am but was unsure which chicken it came from.

We are suspicious of a couple others but Sweetie often shows signs of being an alpha hen. She's also the biggest/poofiest but I'm not sure if that's just because of her breed. I'd like to mention she's not the greatest of flyers and has a hard time flying up to roost on fences with the other chickens. My husband has had to get on a ladder and help her get up there with her sisters. Anyway, I will attach some pictures of her and any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

Age? Other than the suspect the rest appear to be pullets. Atleast the ones in the photos.
 
We bought her as a chick in April. This is her eating out of the bowl behind our Isa brown chick:

I am going to go with slow developing cockerel, because of those odd patches or color. Although, it can go either way. Her tail looks like a pullet. I would wait a few more weeks…
