Austrolorp sexing

[Fulufalump]

Hello everyone! I’ve hatched a little bit of a mixed bag and currently have 4 chicks growing up fast. They are all between 5-6 weeks. 2x Blue Austrolorps 1x langshang 1x buff Orpington.

I’m just curious what everyone thinks my 2 austrolorps might be.

This one I believe is a girl just because she feathered up so much faster than the other 3
—————————

This one I’m not sure of. It was slow to feather but has rapidly caught up to my other austrolorp. Has a slightly bigger comb but no difference in comb colours.

Bonus other 2 boys

These 2 boys spar(not sure if that’s the correct term sorry) all the time but neither of the austrolorps have any interest in it.

What does everyone think my Austrolorps are?

I have no experience with this breed, but I’d say they’re both the same gender.

Right now I'm leaning toward both Australorps being cockerels. The combs just seem a little too large for 5-6 weeks old. It'll be more clear once they're fully feathered.

So far I think both are males.

I had nd hatched australorps for a while, both look to be boys imo.

Little update for 2 weeks later. Still haven’t seen the Austrolorps partake in the young male shenanigans. Combs don’t seem to have darkened. I’m coping a bit that maybe that indicates pullets but in others experience are they still looking like cockerels?
Between 7-8 weeks

The first one pictured is looking like a pullet. Keep an eye on the 2nd one. Might be a slower developing cockerel. The fact that you have very obvious boys means there may be one (or 2) more dominate and the others will kind of blend in with the females until they're older.

So far they look like girls to me. Australorps pop up those combs and wattles quickly so I would expect more from a boy. Time will tell though.
