My baby Lavender Orpington (9 weeks old) has exhibited some concerning cockerel behavior! I have heard an attempt at a crow twice since (she?) moved into the coop. I've attached some photos here. Could you help me determine the sex? I'm in Santa Barbara and we can't have Roosters! If Glitter is definitely a rooster, is there anywhere I could take him?

Thanks in advance!

You can try to rehome him, but most will only take a male for free, in my area at least.
