What gender?

This is one of our mixed that hatched 4 months ago. This chicken is large so I would suspect a rooster but I have not observed crowing (which does not mean much. I only see them in the morning and evening).
The chicken in question is the lighter brown one in the forefront.

If he doesn't crow, I'm laying an egg yesterday

That is funny but tragic at the same time. I keep hitting the rooster lottery.
Last year a friend gave me 19 chicks and only 5 turned out to be girls.
This year I ordered a dozen female Barred Rocks from a hatchery. You can see 3 of these "females" in the background. The hatchery sent me 13 birds. Only 6 are female. The other 7 don't even self identify as female.
At the same time I hatched 10 of my own eggs. The result looks looks to be 1 girl and 9 boys.
What are the odds?

Yeah, he looks like a rooster to me. I’m so sorry! I always seem to have more roosters than hens too. I know it is supposed to be around 50% boys and 50% girls when they are Straight run, but that never seems to be true for me .

I've heard that as chicks, the males are more friendly so they get grabbed first when they are put in boxes. I don't know if that is true though.
