Pullet or cockerel

We purchased 4. 2 are pullets. One is a very obvious Roo. This one though…definitely resembles the pullets more, but the Roo is relentlessly mean to this one.

It looks like pullet but I really am not good at telling so don't believe me

Id say pullet. if it was a roo, i think it would have given more obvious signs by now, like maybe a raspy crow or a defined roo walk. Can you describe the behavior of this one? Does it walk like a rooster would?

Pullet. If your rooster/cockerel is picking on this bird, I would remove him from the flock until the pullets mature. If upon reintroduction he continues with this behavior I have some excellent recipes.

It doesn’t act like a rooster at all to me. I bought 4, 1 is very obviously a rooster. No crowing yet. But massive legs and feet. Comb. Jiggly wattles. He picks on this one. BUT, my bantam roosters ‘pick’ on everyone too and they’re only a few weeks older, crowing, breeding, doing all the things the boys do, and my naked necks are still locked up until the girls are decent size to go out with the older girls

I don’t think so. Like a scared hen to me. This guy is super obvious. They were all supposed to be pullets, and I’m still leaning that way with the one .
