We have a Jersey Giant that’s 21 weeks old, not laying and I think it’s a rooster because of the tail feathers. My husband is pretty confident it’s a hen. Can anyone help us determine? Thanks!

I don’t have pictures outside the run as I had my toddler with me when I went to snap the pictures.
 
Yep, tail says cockerel to me! From what I’ve heard, Jersey Roos are pretty docile, though!
For reference to you and anyone who may wander in here at a later date, here’s a couple comparison pics of my Jersey Freak pullet.
I have two, she’s MASSIVE compared to even the other Jersey!
(She’s also the same age as the white pullet in the images lol)

Thanks for all the responses, it’s as I suspected. However he has never crowed, is that normal for a 5 month old Rooster?
My Cochin (my avatar picture) didn't crow until he was 18 months when he started challanging my Buff for leadership.
