Is my EE a roo or a hen?

[WitchyWomen]

I’m new to owning chickens. I have 11 chickens no older than 10 weeks. I ordered an EE hen but I’m thinking this “hen” is a rooster. She/he is only 9 weeks old. This chick has always been bossy and now it’s getting mean. It will bite and hold on to other chickens...doesn’t matter if it’s a hen or roo. Thanks for your help!

Yup, gorgeous cockerel! I’ve never seen one quite like that before! He’s stunning!

Thanks Everyone....that’s what I thought. He is gorgeous but not too friendly to the girls. .

I’m sorry maybe he will grow out of it? Young roosters are often a bit rough for a while, hormones surging and all and not knowing what to do, but most usually eventually grow out of it. Mine did.
