lagrange chicks

Hi i am new here. This is the story of the chick named Bossie. It started in April when I picked my order of 5 chicks up at Farm and fleet, my order was 5 Barred Rocks and i added 3 easter eggers to the mix because everyone i talked to about chicks said i will loose a couple and i wanted a flock of around 5. All 8 are doing well. The order was all pullets but from day 1 i thought that white chick looks like a rooster to me. As time went on the little white chick controlled the brooder and let the others no it was in charge. Fast forward to now which they are 13 weeks old and he is still in charge, he is very protective of the girls. What i find so amazing is watching him tell the girls when its time to go in the coop, they will start going in but if 1 or 2 fail to follow his command he will chase them a bit until they go in and then he follows them. I hope he turns out to be a good boy as i am thinking of what the chicks might look like with him crossed with a Barred Rock. Here are a few pics of him from a couple days old to now.
