I have 2 7 weeks old olive eggers from ideal poultry.
one looks like a rooster - bigger, bright red comb, longer pointy tail feathers. Also likes to stay away from the rest of the flock, looking around and watching, more flighty then the other ones when I try to hold them.
what do you think? How long till I know “for sure”
The two pictures are of the 2 different birds. I know they aren’t pure breed so shouldn’t look the same but...

Pictures? It sounds like it may be a cockerel, but it's hard to tell without seeing it. You might be able to tell by this age, but really only with a crow or an egg can you be absolutely sure.
