Thanks everyone, i was thinking girl but im glad you all agree. It sometimes lifts its feathers wings up and charges the others, im glad this is normal with pullets and roos.

Thanks, a few people I know locally think its a roo so thats why I wanted to post it here and get your help. This chick tries to herd the other chickens and always waits till everyone eats then it will eat. I just thought that was a little odd, but maybe its completely normal for a pullet to do that.

Strongly doubt its a rooster.Are you sure it's herding them?Sounds like it may be the lower pecking ordered chick eating last.Roosters do not wait for hens to stop eating,they are not that mannered.....And for a cockerel their Onrey anyways.

They look about 2 and a half months in the pictures,are they?

They are 5 1/2 weeks

Right now it could be either. For some reason when I posted first in this thread, your two posts with pictures weren't showing. Sorry about that! I asked for another picture not knowing I just wasn't seeing them. The comb kind of looks cockerel-ish to me, the feathering more pullet like. So it could go either way. I guess you'll have to wait a few more weeks to find out for sure!

Is he just running behind them?

It will chase the others when they are by the door, kinda like telling them to get back.

Jee,possibly or just a really dominant pullet.
