Mystery chick! Breed and sex ID?

Well, I have raised Delawares for over 15 years, and I just had to remove a pullet that I thought was a cockerel from the boy pen. Delaware pullets can be foolers! Their combs and wattles can develop and get red pretty early. (FYI for those who don't know, combs and wattles get red much faster outdoors than in the barn or brooder.)

If he is a roo, Delaware roos tend to be more mellow toward people than most roos.
I’m not totally sure yet. That’s just what it seems like so far.
 
Yes, my city doesn't have many rules regarding chickens but the one law on the books explicitly bans roosters.
That is sad... because every bro-dozer pickup that goes down my street completely drowns out the sound of my roosters.
