Mean Barred Rock Gender?

[HomespunChicken]

Hi, I have this around 7 week old barred rock who is so aggressive! She or he will try to peck me when I go to pick her up, she always seems to be more off by herself compared to sunbathing with the rest of the girls or dust bathing. If anyone is on a perch higher than he or she is, she'll totally jump up and peck them! None of my other birds are this way. I included some pics but I don't really know what to look for when trying to see gender so let me know if I need some other ones.

He is a boy and will grow up to be a rooster!!

Aw man! And he's already a mean little bugger! Just out of curiosity, what gives it away? Guess we should've named Barbie Ken instead

He has a large comb and his barring is relatively light in color Females are a bit darker

Also he is not mean he is just keeping the pecking order in line its normal fro chicken to move a chicken out its called the pecking order and I would not mess their order if I were you
