I’m confused because it really looks like a cockerel to me, but makes hen noises, and has never crowed.

Do you have any other roosters? What type of hen noises does he/she make?
I have 2 other roosters, and it makes long clucking noises (like when a hen is wanting in a nest box and their friend stole it.)

If its a male, he may not be crowing because the other roosters are dominant.
Could you possibly get a video of the noises it makes?
 
Looks like cockerel - take a different picture when he is nice and clean - I know it is hard with all the rain we are getting and that he is white 😊
Only other recent pic I have, also because of the weather and she/he likes to get muddy 🤦‍♀️ I’ll have to get one soon

Those feathers look like a male, but maybe that's cause he/she is wet?
Could you get some pictures while its not wet?
