I know that generally speaking hens are poofy and rounded and males tend to be more on the wild side.
It is super friendly towards it humans, but got REAL nasty towards my Banty Cochins ???
I do not not know the sex on either of the Banty's too young to tell. The polish is 6weeks and the Banty's are 5 weeks. Pics of Banty's too follow

I was thinking it was a Roo. I was hoping that I could get some others opinions as far as posting pics.

I see some redness coming in on its face. Check the wattles and the skin around the beak over the next week or two. If they get red, and the wattles get bigger, you have a roo. If the skin stays pink and the wattles small, you have a hen. By week seven or eight you will know for sure.

Here is my roo at week seven:

 
That bird screams Roo to me...just look at that stance and stare!!!

The others are pullets...maybe that's why he's bossing them around!
