Hen or roo?

I’ve been letting the little cockerel roam in a portion of the chicken run that’s fenced off with chicken wire during the day for a couple days. Do you think it’s okay to put him with the other girls. I have 7 in here. One of them is kind of a bully even to me so I’m nervous about when I do introduce new birds. I wish I could upload a video here to show because this little dude seems like he’s got attitude already. He’s fluffing feathers and charging at the girls that try to peck through the fence

If you want to upload a video, you have to do it through Youtube.
Upload a video to YT, then post the link here.

I would add him to the flock in a few days.

Update. Here’s the same guy today. He’s not crowing yet and it looks like little tiny dots where his spurs are supposed to be. I have another rooster who is just 2 weeks younger and has full on spurs and been crowing for at least 2 months now. Are we still sure he’s a he?

Cockerel.
Better pictures needed. (tail, face, etc.)

And it is not a pure barred rock. Mixed breed.

Agree

Without a doubt a cockerel. He's likely not crowing yet because he's not wanting to challenge the one already crowing.

All chickens have spur buds, regardless of sex.
