Is my Easter Egger a roo?

[Nalanzoe]

I'm a first timer and have 5 chicks. This one is looking like a roo to me. It's 5.5 weeks old. It is much more aggressive than the other birds and is also the largest. Any opinions would be great!

Welcome to BYC!
Unfortunately, yes, that appears to be a young cockerel.

Are you able to keep a rooster in your area? Not everyone is nor wants to. Once you have 20 posts you can use the buy-sell-trade forum and find him a new home:

Hope you are enjoying your flock, thanks for joining us!

No, we cannot keep a rooster

We have 4 pullets still. This one is my husbands, so we are glad it's not one of the kids'. My husband named it "Chick Norris", so it's not a surprise really! We want him to go to a home as a pet, not be someone's dinner.

Here is the same bird at 8 weeks old. It still has not crowed and my husband is in denial since this one is his, but could I get more opinions on if this is a roo?Thanks!
