Rooster or hen

[Mika17]

Is tgisba Roo or a hen. I think it's a hen, her brother looks different. I did notice that she mounts off chickens so that makes me wonder if it's a rooster.

How old? I think i see some pointy saddle and hackle feathers (which would mean male) but it's hard to tell with the sunlight reflecting in the photo.

If it's under 16 weeks, it's a male

What other signs indicate a rooster that i should look out for

Looks like a boy to me and sometimes they don’t crow if there’s other roosters around or even without, some are just slow developers. I had one that didn’t start crowing until like 7 months old LOL then I’ve had other successfully mating and fertilizing eggs at 3 months old. so it varies.

Definitely a cockerel. He has pointed feathers

Agree I have two older cockerels (17 weeks) that have yet to show interest in the pullets and some 10 week old RIR already trying the mount my 17 week old pullets. They've been put in a boys' club until the girls are ready.
