Pullet or Rooster?

[Lis86]

Hi everyone, I'm new to raising chickens and was told I had bought 4 girls, however I'm suspicious one may be a rooster. 'She' has recently started crowing (21 weeks old). Can anyone help by looking at this photo from a couple of weeks ago.

That looks like a pullet to me with nice, fat, rounded feathers on her saddle and hackle area.

One of our Orpington pullets crowed until she started to lay eggs, then she stopped.

I also have a bantam who will crow to her flock if separated from them.

Yes but it still looks female.

Guys, if it's 19 weeks, crowing, with a big red comb and starting-to-curve tail feathers, it's a male. I'm telling you.

That's a point of lay pullet, hence the red comb. She has no male specific feathering. I've heard of females crowing.
