Is my Bantam EE a roo? Help!

​

Hi BYC
I'm new to chicks and I need a little help in determining the sex of one my 5 week old EE chicks.
I will refer to the chick as a him ( because I can't help myself), "he" is more aggressive than my other 2 chicks ( another regular EE and a silkie) he's currently living with in the brooder. His comb is red compared to the other EE and he has feathered legs. Although his feathers seem about the same as the other EE chick? About 2 weeks ago I out I put my 8 week old Layla in with them as a meet and greet ( I stood there the whole time), she was great with them but he jumped on her back twice and basically attacked her. He is also very vocal and stands straight up high a lot ( even though he's the smallest because he's a bantam) lol.
My guess is roo but I need some confirmation please. I didn't plan on a rooster!!:cd

I know the pics aren't great but he won't stay still long enough and BTW his name is Lovey!!

Welcome to BYC!!! I would go with your gut, I sort of new too, but my EE's still doesn't have any combs yet so you might be right. They come in so many different shapes and colors its hard to tell. Good luck.

I am not so sure this is an EE -- this bird is clean faced and feather legged.

Oh great!!! Now it's a roo and an unknown breed?!? I guess this is what happens with chickens! It's an adventure

I agree it's a cockerel, and not an EE. With that white skin, I'm thinking it's a mixed breed.

Cockerel for sure. Looks like some sort of Cochin/Cochin mix.

Thank you for your comments!! I just knew it! We'll see how this goes with a rooster?
I guess it doesn't matter if he isn't an EE now....Won't be seeing any eggs from him!
My kids made me promise we won't eat him :yiipchick
