Yes, they grow like weeds! Enjoy your new babies!
 
The roos will have long hackle feathers around the neck that drape down. Same with the saddle feathers around the tail. They will be long and draping. The roos will have very large combs and wattles, crow, spurs, and are larger than the hens.

As for determining cockerels from pullets, the cockerels will get their combs and wattles in much earlier than the pullets. They will have tree trunks for legs and feet. They will start to grow the hackle and saddle feathers and can start crowing at an early age as well.
