Hey Everyone! I've been researching sexing Black Australorps and I'm at all loss here, so I'm hoping someone might have experience with this breed and help me out :)
We added to our flock this year and I was so excited to find Black Australorps at our local feed store. They were supposed to be pullets, but I have a feeling that the Australorp on the right is a roo and the Australorp on the left is a pullet. These babies are 5 weeks old (I realize this might be too early to tell..) and neither seem larger than the rest of the 5-week-old chicks we have.
Any thoughts?

Those look like roos to me. They are difficult to sex when they are young. You have to vent sex them, which is difficult. Otherwise, you have to wait to see that red comb and wattles on a chick younger than 10 weeks.
