Rooster or hen?

sorry no pics as I am at work...

I have 8 5 week old chickens. They will be 6 weeks on Monday. There is one buff Orpington that is slightly smaller than the rest, and she (he?) gets the zoomies whenever I visit the coop. It was cute until the zoomies were accompanied by some mean pecking. They all peck at me lightly as the Bringer of Treats and Wearer of Shiny Things, but this is more like I'm-gonna-destroy-you pecking. It actually hurts. And her posture is very alert and aggressive, with her tail up and everything. Her wattle is the same size as the others and not red (its like a light pink/skin colored). Is she a roo, based on her aggressive behavior? Or just a mean lil hen?
You might have a roo there..I just recently found out that my Buff Orpington was a rooster and he was around 4 months old. He started crowing one morning (it sounded like screaming at first lol) and I knew it was a he. A few signs of a rooster are long, pointy saddle feathers, a bigger comb and wattles, larger and thicker feet and legs, or developing spurs on the legs. This pic was when he was around 2 1/2 months old
