It has very tall legs like my young Bielefelder rooster and has long tail feathers. He/She is black and white. Hen or roo?? Breed ideas?? Thanks in advance!!
 
In your 2nd and 3rd photo, near your hand almost looks like saddle feathers, but the photos aren't super clear. How old?
I’m a super chicken newbie and this chicken came in what was supposed to be a group of all hens but it didn’t look like a hen to me! Lol I can’t have another rooster in my flock at this time so I had to be sure before I put them in. The lady didn’t give me any age or breed info or anything :/
 
Hi all, we are having a bit of trouble/denial with this little 'lady'. Is she a she or a he?! She came to us because someone's ex-partner got her kids a chick and a duckling but the kids got bored. We would have had the duck but it died - they have been together since being brought home as babies in Feb and we got the 'hen' in Sept/Oct.

She was very hard to introduce to our others because she wouldn't let fights finish, even when the other chicken had had enough. She also has a full beak where the others don't. She has now become quite aggressive to us and she crows.

While this might all sound a bit obvious we're wondering if her odd start to life has made her become a female that behaves like a male. She has no noticeable spurs, just little nubs and her tail feathers aren't that long.

That’s a cockerel.
 
@Rach1802 , that's a cockerel, and his attitude will most likely continue to deteriorate. He sounds like a prime candidate for coq au vin.

To the OP - that's a cockerel. Comb type will help with breed identification.
