I have an 18 week old chicken that I hatched and I cannot tell if it’s a boy or girl. It hasn’t crowed and it’s not aggressive towards other hens but it hasnt squatted either. Any input is appreciated!

Can also be sex linked by shank/skin color. If silkie is dad and mom was barred rock, then pullets will have dark skin/shanks and cockerels will have yellow skin/shanks.:)
Edited to say that the opposite would be true as well!
