Is my chicken a boy or a girl?

I have a 17 week old lavender orpington that I thought was hen, she has started to crow like a rooster in the last couple of days. I am confused if she is a male or a female. Attached are pictures of her.

That's 100% definitely a cockerel. He's gorgeous!!

Yep. Boy.

That's a boy! If he's under a year old, he's a cockerel. If he's over a year, he's a rooster.
