Sebright Bantam Hen Suddenly Aggressive?

Your chicken crows as well!! My sebright hen started crowing a year ago but has mellowed out since, however she does have a crow off sometimes with the cockerel in the run, in the morning. Blessed times. I was wondering if it was because they are a pair and she sees no competition so acts very dominante? There are also times when she is more aggressive than the cockerel himself especially towards her reflection, which makes me laugh

Recently, out of the blue, my last silver sebright hen transitioned into a rooster! She was a great layer, then stopped. She started crowing, getting aggressive, and her waddles and comb plumped up. She was full-on roo. Such a strange thing and never seen it before. I've heard they might do this from lack of males, but not sure. Cool thing to witness though, even though I didn't really want any roos….
 
I have three bantam hens (young). One started to crow about a month ago and now one of the others has started to crow too! All three have started to peck my feet and ankles. The two that crow stock my other Reds and attack them! I'm at a loss of what to do. Isolate the main aggressive one for a week? Take all three out and put them in their own pen. They have about a quarter of acre to range on. Yes, I have a rooster, though, he isn't a bantam.
