Not all roosters are colorful. Blue roosters are just that: blue color. The only difference between a solid colored male bird and a solid colored female bird is that the males generally have shinier feathers and more blotchy coloring.What about the not being colorful part?
Some roosters mature slower than others, especially in comb/wattle size. One of my cockerels this year was lowest in the rooster pecking order, and it was 8 months before he crowed. His comb/wattles stopped growing at about 14 weeks of age, making him look rather hen-like. I wouldn't have known he was a cockerel except for the fact that he developed rooster tail feathers and coloring.And the wattles are tiny
