Light Sussex Rooster or Hen?

[Dieter]

Hi there, I have a small young flock at home with a Loman Brown, RIR, Light Sussex & Buff Orpington.

The Sussex & Orpington are about 16 weeks but I'm starting to have my doubts on whether it's a rooster or not.

Firstly it's already by biggest hen, then the feet and legs are so thick and large. I've also noticed some beautifully large tail feathers starting to grow.

One thing that keeps calming me to the fact it may be a hen are the shape of the hackle feathers. I've already had two independent opinions that it's a hen, but maybe I could get some opinions on here

Looks like a cockerel to me based on the green tail feathers.

They should also start crowing At 4-5 months old

No crowing yet. I think that'll be the final test. Although looking at the hackle feathers in the picture, now that it's been moulting, they're looking more pointed at the ends :/
