Are you sure this is a rooster? Is it crowing? The comb is so pale and I see no indications at all of it being male, and the attitude you are describing also makes me question it being a boy. Usually girls are the ones who pick on the other girls...

No crow yet but he mostly pics on red my other roo he only starts on the girls when red isn't around...
As for the color it is pale but I'm sure it's a roo!!

I have a couple with yellow legs, is that just a personal preference thing or is this a show thing? I also have a roo(red) with white/pink legs is this something I should cull or keep?

Yellow legs are SOP for NN. Since I don't show or sell pure bred I prefer the darker legs.

Ok dumb question... SOP? And if they come in so many different colors why have just one?
