Making sure this one is a female...

So all the chickens should be female but this one is so bird-of-prey striking with its profile (I still can't decide which one. Osprey, maybe?) that if any male snuck into the chick order, I'm concerned it would be this one. Almost 18 wk silver laced Wyandotte. I don't see any red flags with spurs or saddle feathers though. One of the chickens has been crowing in the morning, though it is brief and sounds fake and this one was puffing itself up in warm weather (probably normal)?

Hens have spurs too and sometimes crow the best way to tell is feathering and egg laying, but in my opinion that’s a pullet
