We have two Black Australorps that are about 4.5-5 weeks old. I'm afraid we have at least one cockerel. Opinions? Thanks!


Olive - Cockerel?






Olive on left and Coconut on right. Coconut feathered out quicker and has a longer tail. Both are equally curious and close to the same size.



Coconut - pullet?!:


 
hi! it will be easier to tell when they are a little older. right now, it looks like you have some pullets. My friend on BYC actually has a Black Australorp roo, so i could give you some pics of what he looks like!
 
if you do have a roo, my friend said that hers is very friendly. i dont have a young pic of him, but it is enough so you know what to look for.

As you can see, he has a VERY large comb! That would be something to look for as yours start to get older.


And this is what he looks like as an adult. I know it is far away, but this just gives you an idea of what you might notice if yours is a roo.
