My favorite "Hen" Crowed this morning. Is She a He?

[Vincentsmom31]

My white plymouth rock is about 5 months old, was still peeping until about a week ago and has just started clucking. This morning she made a noise kinda like a crow, but sounded less cock-a-doodle-doo, and more AAAaaaruAAh! She's never made that sound before and now I'm worried she's a cockerel. How do I tell if she's a he? She has a bigger comb than her sister Babs but not by a whole lot and she doesn't have any long tail feathers. Would she have spurs by now? Help!

Got any pics? There are several ways to tell if it's a roo, Saddle feathers, hackle feathers, comb and wattles for a few

Re the spurs our roosters were still tiny when we had to give him away at about 8 months old so don't use that when sexing

Got any close ups? Are there any really pointy thin feathers on the saddle, can't really tell, but I'm leaning towards cockerel

Out of 22 chicks I had only ten polish and seven were cockerels! I will order hens only from now on.
