Possible Rooster or Agressive Hen?

[Mamatomany123]

Yes the 3 in the lower foreground that are yellow and white came from a straight run bunch. I'm sure that 2 of them are cockerels. I just wish I knew what breed they are, but I'll be using the cockerels for meat at the end of the year anyway. Thank you for your opinion on the EE. I'll have to spend more time with them and put her in her place

Possibly new Hampshire reds

Pictures of the chicks would be helpful.
Behavior isn't always an accurate indicator of gender.

I know you say pullet in there, but you also say hen.

Alot of people say Roo and on a chicken site we know we're not talking about an Australian baby. It's just slang sometimes. Like chook

I have 9 assorted, 6 week old chicks. 3 I bought as straight run (unknown breed) and its pretty obvious by now that 2 are roosters. I also bought 2 Rhode Island Red pullets, 2 cuckoo maran pullets, and 2 Americana (Easter Eggers) pullets. The Rhode Island Reds and the cuckoo marans are pretty obviously hens. I was pretty sure both the americanas were hens also, until today. They have the pea combs so I'm unable to tell gender at this point. Behaviorally they acted more like hens than roosters. Now just starting today the one that was more friendly suddenly turned aggressive towards me. Is it possible this chick is a rooster? Or maybe its a hen having a bad day? I haven't read of any instances where a hens became aggressive towards people while roosters are present. I'm hoping this chick is a hen because I was really looking forward to blue eggs.

i have a hen the same way it will probably stay like that way but you have to show them that you are boss no matter pullet or cockerel
