Hen or roo?

[Cwildmon]

I have 3 chickens born sept 11 all mixed. One is a petite hen Maizie, one a large crowing rooster Taz, than this one. I could wait a few more weeks and see if it lays lol. I'd like to know if it's a daizie.

Cockerels and roosters have pointy saddle and hackle feathers. The tail feathers won't be too telling until the males grow sickle feathers.
