Looking for expert advice from you Australorp folks out there. Tried to get the best pics I could. Thanks!

Very red and lots of comb and wattle growth for a pullet. Id say roo.

Looks kinda like a roo to me!

I agree, feather look more like a roo - a hens are more rounded.

I was afraid of that. We can't have roosters in the city limits. My son is going to be devastated. We named this one Fergie, but I guess he is now Ferguson. I really wish we could keep him.

I just had to rehome my beloved pullet-turned-cockerel. It was awful.

I feel ya!

Hey I agree its a roo and also wanted to say my Aunt lives in Fort Collins I believe she lives out side the city limits. I could talk to her and see if they want a roo let me know.

That would be great. I hesitate to put him on Craigslist because I would like to see him go somewhere and have a life. I can't bear to eat him, plus my son is a vegetarian almost vegan, he can't even bring himself to eat the eggs that our other chickens lay!

Definitely a roo! Atleast he doesn't have to worry about eating this one's eggs
