I’ve got two roosters the same age, one has been crowing / breeding over a month where as his sibling hasn’t made a peep, nor showed any interest in the hens.
He hasn’t developed his comb/waddle quite like the other but otherwise they are same size.
Is this common or is he having a gender identity crisis.

Each chicken being an individual, it's hardly surprising they mature differently.
It should also be noted that a dominant cockerel will have the other lower cockerels in submission. Crowing and mating with the dominant cockerel's females would be asking for trouble.
No, he's not having a gender identity crisis.

Yeppers.
Just went thru this, was quite interesting to observe.
Had 3 cockerels, 2 were a team of terror, the 3rd was definitely low cock.
Once the 2 were gone the 3rd started crowing and his comb got bigger and he started 'misbehaving'. He's gone now too..
