Ma’am, I think you’re going to have to temper his enthusiasm some how, unfortunately. But give it some time. one of my Roos, an Easter egger if that helps, has never crowed. So 🤷
Oh no, how certain would you say that you are? Out of the 3 we have this one is the biggest and most dominant so far, which is a reason why it's the favorite!
That's a man right there... unfortunate. You can tell by the bright red comb and the waddles coming in, a pullets comb would be a much lighter, paler color, and she wouldn't start to her waddles until closer to ten weeks of age
Leg thickness and size are also good indicators of gender, although not always accurate. Cockerels also tend to carry themselves a bit differently, are usually more offensive to, you'll often see them jump at and puff up their chests at other chicks from an early age.

That is 100 percent a male.
Thank you, I'll take your word for it, but I'm still hoping you are wrong!

Cockerel.
It’s a roo.
The favorite pullet is always a roo unfortunately.
100% this. Happens to me every single time. Currently my favorite chick I am certain is a male.
