Light sussex cross hen or roo?

[Urbanearthmum]

Help would be appreciated, was sold as a light sussex cross and seller was 90% certain they were a hen but now I'm not so sure. Approx 5 months old not crowing (yet). Can't have roos where I live unfortunately.

I'm not positive,,, but do get the vibe that it may be a roo.
I'm going by the shape of feather tips. Sharp, rather than rounded. I never had this breed though.. I know it is not answer you wish for. Maybe others have better opinions/observations, that had this breed.
I'm in same boat as you are. Cant keep roosters where I live also.

The white one is a cockerel, for sure. He has pointed saddle and hackle feathers and has sickle feathers growing in. Some just take longer to mature verbally than others.

Edited for grammar.

X2 on the saddle, hackle and sickle feathers, sorry babe but this one is singing bass not soprano...

Really appreciate the responses t'was as I feared! I'll give him another few weeks to be certain but good to prepare myself.
First time dispatching eek (could rehome but being a cross will prob just end up in someone's cook pot anyway )

Can you return to seller and explain the circumstances, and get a grown hen as replacement??? and I don't mean free replacement, just someone that would be able to take in a rooster.
