Is This A Pullet or A Cockerel Black Australorp?

[BellaBelinski]

Hi All!

Can anyone tell me if this a pullet or a cockerel? You could see in the pictures that the comb and wattles are much bigger and redder than the other two BAs. You can't tell by these pictures, but his/her tail is stumpy; no long feathers. I will keep him/her regardless. Just curious!

How old is he? I'm just curious to compare with mine!

Definitely looks like a too to me.

The prominence and redness of comb/wattles at that age, has to be a rooster.

This will be our first rooster. I hope we're not sorry! We only got 3 australorps, and one turns out to be a rooster. Go figure!!

Thanks. I pretty much knew the answer, but I still wanted to get the opinions of seasoned chicken owners!!
