Is this a roo? the Comb is noticeablely more red than the others and they are all around the same age give or take a week. she/he is the friendliest one right now.

bolder (i.e ''friendlier") chicks are usually cockerels, he's a cockerel alright,

How long before he might start crowing?

He should start within the next few weeks.

Definitely a cockerel then.

will he start to become possessive or aggressive soon too?

His hormones will take a little longer to kick in. Probably more at around 5-6 months. Some start earlier. It depends on the breed.
Keep in mind though, not all roosters will be aggressive. A lot are actually very sweet and friendly!
