Rooster or pullet

[OasiVerde]

OK, I need experts opinions
These chicks are all about 2 months old.
I am wondering if one of them is a rooster. The comb is larger and more red. And the tail feathers are longer. It is the chick with the white feathers and blue legs.

Yes that’s a cockerel

It's a boy, hun...

Thanks for your replies. I have another rooster, he is 4 months old, in the same group. How long can they stay together? Is there a certain age when you have to separate them?

When they start fighting and over breeding the pullets, one has to go. You want a place right now to put the extra one for when that happens.
You also might want to decide now which one you want to keep (if either) and work on your solution for the extra bird(s).
I rehomed my friendly alpha cockerel and kept the beta cockerel with a mild attitude problem because the beta was actually exhibiting more of the behaviors I wanted a rooster for. At 24 weeks old, he is coming along nicely.

Thanks. I have a Barnevelder rooster, this is the breed I want to continue with. I will first try to rehome the 2 months old.
