Cockerel or Pullet? Chicks are 7 weeks old

A rooster isn't always aggressive anymore than a female will be passive. You have one rooster, for sure.

Can you get a closeup of 4? My EE pullet has the same feather pattern.

Here are more pics of #4

Yes I’ve heard many can be friendly with humans. We hope to keep this one unless he turns out to be not so friendly with our kids.

Yup. Both are boys. 2 and 4.

Doh!

It's male. The large comb, solid black hackles, and patchy coloration confirm that #4 is indeed a male.

I don't think four is a cockerel.

The red/brown shoulder patches coming through are cockerel colors. I’m sorry.

Incorrect. It is surely male, as proven by the large, three-rowed pea comb, typical patchy male EE pattern, and thick legs.

I've had pullets like that and its comb isn't pink.
