Hey, It's better than all cockerels. At least you get eggs while you wait.

All pullets congratulations !!
congratulations good for you !you can always get another cock .
Now start researching .find the very best ,most beautiful and typey cock or Cockrell that you can find . buy it and put him over all these pullets and I think you'll get some really really nice Birds. Spare no expense and have an APA judge look over pics of the cock before you purchase.
Best ,
Karen

Now go over to www.katherineplumer.com
Click on "drawings"
Click on "chicken and Poultry drawings"
Click on " 2010 Standard of Perfection".
Scroll down to the pics of the Light Sussex. That is what you are seeking in your male.
This male will elevate your females too because such a bird is not a fluke. He is specially bred from Superior males and females on both sides of his pedigree.
when you breed into your females take The Pullets from that breeding and breed them back to him ! bring the girls back to their father. it's not too close a breeding. it would be great and you should see such an improvement in your flock you'll be so excited!
Best,
Karen and the Light Sussex in Western Pennsylvania

And what about this little fellow?

Looks like a little Cockrel. are the Hackle feathers pointed at the end or are they rounded ?they look pointed to me. pointed as a male, rounded at the end is a female.
