Help ID rooster

[pechara]

Greetings All experts,

We have 4 black australorps that are about 5-7 weeks old They are all from the same batch (i think). One of them looks different, I have a strong suspicion that this is a rooster. This one has a strong pronounced comb and visible wattles developing, the other 3 astralorps do not have the wattles and have a much smaller comb. Can anyone confirm? Thank you in advance.

Looks like a male to me too....Did it feather out more slowly than the others? That's a sign I look for as well.....

The only difference that I noticed early on was that the tail was not developing as fast. Even now the tail is about 1/2 the size of the other 3. My wife says that yes, it did feather out slowly.
