I rescued this what I thought was a pullet and have been nursing it back to health for about a month. It had a really bad foot/leg injury and now seems really healthy but still walks with a limp. I introduced him/her to my flock and noticed how different everything looked. It's comb is alot bigger and more red. It acts alot different too, and almost looked like it was mounting the girls, but I wasn't sure if that was just a dominance thing to try and establish a new pecking order?? I'm pretty new to chickens so I just wanted some good opinions!

I just noticed the second to last picture is of my other white EE, haha ... I was in a hurry before! Theres just such a difference in the shape in size of my other 3 EEs... but I suppose they can all look a little different since they are more or less"mutts" right?

My pictures were pretty crappy too since I was using my crappier camera and it was starting to get a little darker, I will add better ones tomorrow! Thanks for the input so far!
 
2nd to last shot doesn't look like the same bird as the ones above it.

2nd to last shot looks pullet, all of the ones above it look like a roo.

If the ones on top were taken later... It's a roo.
 
As the OP said, there are two different white EE pictured. The later is a pullet. However, I think the first bird pictured is a young cockerel. I would like to see a full body profile picture. Tail looks suspicious.
