Hi I am a new member to this site. I have had chickens for the last 2 years, usually buying pullets but last August I had a broody hen and decided to try hatching my own chicks. My lovely hen managed to hatch 2 sweet baby silver laced Cochins who we have always thought were female. They are now 6 months old and one has started being a little bit dominant to all my other hens pecking at the back of their necks, and today I came out to find it was trying mount one of my other chickens! It has never crowed but I am starting to think that maybe it could be a roo? Can anybody advise?

That looks like a very handsome rooster! Very pretty! Is he crowing yet?? Usually this is the first sign of being a roo, starting in on the crowing before they are 1 month old!

Great to have you aboard and enjoy BYC!
 
Thank you for all your lovely comments, he is indeed a very handsome boy but unfortunately he has had to be rehomed as my girls would not take kindly to a man in their midst! Funnily enough he never crowed, I always had my suspicions about him from being a chick but because he never crowed, I always doubted myself!
