I need to know if this Buff Orpington is male or female. I only have the two that are 8 weeks old. The rest of my chickens are from last year. I can trade for a pullet if it’s a cockerel and the sooner the better so the other one isn’t alone. He/she has gotten a little aggressive and his appearance is different from the one I think is a pullet. One photo is the two about a week ago. The other photos are from today. I appreciate your input. Thanks

Looks like a cockerel. Better pictures may make me more or less sure, but hearing his personality and seeing his comb and wattle growth, I am strongly thinking cockerel.

To me it looks like a cockerel.
 
Thanks for your help. Here are a couple more photos from a week ago. I can try to get more today if needed but he seldom stands still. He has pecked me if my hand is near him and did a little dance when I was scooping up poop near him.
