The roosters will have larger combs and wattles.

They are meat birds that are raised for fast meat production and their life span is not that great for raising beyond a few months;

Hello :frow and Welcome To BYC! Feathersite has some pictures, http://feathersite.com/Poultry/CGA/Broil/BRKMeat.html as Marthab1953 mentioned, the roos are usually bigger and have bigger combs and wattles than the girls, but they are bred for meat production and usually all are processed around 8-10 weeks or so.
