Australorp roo or pullets?

[dominiquePL]

@dominiquePL Oh, these unpredictable Australorps! I won't make the same mistake again, no one can force me to guess: I just know that I don't know
BUT if I had to guess, I would say female, male in the first group... and the second group I can't reall tell, because I don't understand wich one is which in the pictures!

Oh i don't understand why they are in a different order... So again...
And yes, they are unpredictable

They will be 6 weeks on Saturday. Most od them i know what they are but there are a few question marks.
1-4 i thought it was a male, now not sure, the comb is pink but not growing at all . In photo 4 (s)he's next to the cockerel, on the right.
5-9 bigger comb and wattles but again, i'm not sure.

After 2 weeks I have only one doubt: no 1 from this post. Pretty red (not as red as in the photos but still pinkier than the others) but comb and wattles seem not to be growing. What do you think? Exactly 8 weeks today.

That's her with the cockerel for comparison. I'm still hoping for a girl

I had 4 pullets. Out of all of those chicks…. 4.

All are gone but I kept one pullet. She’s a little lonely without her brothers, but she gets to mingle with the rest of the flock for short periods. I’d say 2 more weeks and she can integrate more.

Poor thing had to hide from the rooster during her visit to the flock- he tried to mount her yesterday. I think he knows he’s going to have a new home soon and trying to get in as much as he can

Oh no.... Only 4 girls? That sucks
Why did you only keep one girl?

I have limited space, and I sold the others as pairs to help get the cockerels a home.

I got 4 chicks from a local. Supposed to be pure Australorps. They turn exactly 6 weeks tomorrow.

1st: do you think they are Australorps or mixed?

2nd: roo or pullets?

I have two black Australorps that are 7 weeks old today. I've done a lot of reading about how to tell if they are hens or roos. From what I have read the Austrolorp roos show red combs and wattles very early. My Australorps have pale combs at no wattles at all right now. I'm thinking that your 1-3 are roos for sure and 4 is questionable. I'll try to upload a picture of my Australorp pullets for you from my phone. Could you please just click the like on this comment, so I can find it?

Oh now I get it Smart decision!
I've just sold all my silkies for the same reason (space). And was lucky because that guy took all of them including 2 cockerels.
I will have to sell Australorp pullets too because now I've got to many (if the questionable one is a girl that would make it 12 plus 4 older ones plus the Bresse pullets (2 or 3 not sure yet)
