Can anyone help please?

I'm new to keeping chickens, I have 2 8week old Peakin Bantams. One is constantly pecking the other and causing injuries! It also pecks me and won't let me hold it, just wondering if one might be a cockerel? Any advice greatly appreciated

The pecking doesn't necessarily mean ones a cockerel. It could just be an aggressive pullet. I have a hen that pecks at my feet so much that I can't go into the run without close toed shoes and pants on. Do you have any other chickens? They may just need to be seperated.

Squirt Bottle with a strong stream flow! Squirt it when it pecks you or others, won't hurt but sure gets the message across. I teach my chickens their boundaries in the yard, takes time but they learn. Need closer pictures, can't see their combs & body.

PS...Just figured how to get a closer look They look like pullets to me, pretty coloring

Looks like pullets. Probably just being aggressive.
