Black Australorps- 5 weeks old, genders? **PIC HEAVY**

[CowgirlMama]

I posted a thread a week and a half ago with pics of my 11 BAs. I'm pretty sure they aren't numbered the same in the currents pics- so I thought I'd start a new thread. Here are my chicks- 5 weeks old. Can you help me with gender? I'm including my own guesses above the pictures... Thanks for your help!

#1- Roo?

#2- Pullet

#3- Roo?

#4- Pullet

#5- Roo? (You just barely see his wattles in one of the pics)

#6- Roo

#7- not sure

#8- Pullet?

#9- Pullet

#10- Roo?

#11- Roo

I am pretty sure that I have a BA roo. He hasn't crowed yet, but that seems to consensus when I have posted pics on BYC.

Here is his picture at 3 weeks.

He is now 4 weeks and the wattles now hang down about 1/4". I am new to raising chickens (so definitely not an expert by any means), but I am voting pullets just because none of them really look like mine....some do seem to be getting combs and wattles, but they are not as red as my little guy

yeah, yours is a roo. i'm facing the same problem. this is mine, 'she' turned out to be a he very early

I think all the Black Australorps are all girls. Many times BA boys will have a big ol' comb by that age. All my BA girls looked just like yours at 5 weeks.

And that 3 week old BA is definitely a boy

5,6,7,10, and 11 are cockerels

Hmm...i'd say 6, 10 &11 have the bast chance at being roos, will be surprised if there's more than that. Let us know what the urn out ends up being.

How did this turn out? Which are roosters now and which are hens? I have 5 week old BAs now. Thanks.
