Is this a leghorn? Pullet or Roo?

I hatched a bunch of eggs that were all sorts of colors from a local market. I now have 2 large white birds that look like leghorns to me, but I am relatively new to chickens.

This one is around 20 weeks old. I’m leaning towards pullet, but I keep flip flopping.

I’d enjoy some other people’s opinions on it!
Thanks in advance!

It’s a female, if it isn’t crowing by now, and has like no saddle feathers at all, it’s a female.
It has saddles and male specific coloration.

Not all males crow by 20 weeks either. @Poultrybonkers can attest to that for sure. Goodness their one Wyandotte had us guessing for what seemed like forever.
 
Did you look closely at its back, in the last pic?
I'm sure I saw pointed feathers, but maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me.
I see what you’re talking about. That’s exactly why I’m conflicted. But I do have to say, that some of my mature hens have slightly curvy feathers back there. I guess time will tell l. 😋
