Is This Astralorp a Cockerel?

[CaptainCat]

Hi Chicken Friends!

This Astralorp hatched 5/1 and is roughly 8 weeks old. I’m starting to question whether it is a cockerel based on being significantly larger than the other astralorp with the same hatch date, and having extended tail feathers. The Astralorp in question is on the left hand side in the photos with two black chickens (photos 4 & 6)

Any insight would be much appreciated!

Thank you!!

The chick is not an Australorp as it has a pea comb and a beard. I also believe due to the large comb that this chick is a cockerel.

Ooo good to know! The only chicks that would be black that I ordered were australorp & BCM, but they sent me 3 extra chicks so who knows what he is!

Thanks for the quick response & guidance!
