Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or Cockerel? Click Here! Thread 2

thanks for asking I am really torn..  about what to do.. 
I have 8 hens...      4 orpingtons   2 austrolorpes 1 ee and 1 silkie   the two kids that turned out to be roos are silkies..  and I thought well,   silkies are sweet and won't be aggressive.. but the two roos are facing off a lot.. and Lawrence is being aggressive towards the ladies..  Crowing etc. no problem where we live.. 

I might add there are different ages and sizes.. Lawrence (my for sure roo) takes after the largest orpington who has been the HBIC till Lawrence discovered he could crow and got all grumpy.
MY husband thinks we should re-home him..  seems like that is the advice.. 

opinions welcome... ..  not a fan of culling him... 

No good reason to keep a hen-aggressive cockerel, ever. All he will do is stress out you and your ladies.

Was told this was a sex link but not entirely sure about that Meanwhile, guesses on sex?

Looks like a black sexlink pullet to me.

Thanks everyone This would be great news!

Eglantine looks like a Soren

Thanks... I've been resigning myself to that. My 10 year old loves the idea of a rooster. *sigh* Hopefully he lives up to the reputation of his breed, and is friendly enough to keep.

Young to be sure, all appear female so far.

Looks like a Welsummer, definitely a cockerel though.

About 4 weeks old. Mixed breed. Cockerel or pullet? I have 2 other chicks hatched with him/her that I believe 1 is a cockerel and 1
Is a pullet, but this one has been stumped

No guesses? I think he may be a cockerel, but not sure. :\
