He was sexed as a roo but at 18 weeks I’m not sure

Help?!
I’m brand new to this whole chicken thing. We got this guy at 1 day at a feed store, and were told he was male but as time goes on and I learn more and more, I’m not convinced. He does have a larger comb than the other 6 we bought that day, and his overall size is larger, but at 18 weeks I was expecting to see more obvious signs. He is not crowing, and the feather pattern is still difficult for me to determine. Any opinions are super appreciated. We named him Gandalf but I’m thinking he might be more of a Gina. Let me know what you guys think!

I'm going to say pullet, not cockerel. I had two Delawares who were clearly male by 10 or 11 weeks, and crowing by 16 weeks. Pretty feather color.

100% cockerel

At 18 weeks old with no masculine feathering and hardly any comb or wattle growth? Am I missing something?

I agree with the others, this is definitely a pullet.

I am going to lean towards pullet.
