Male or Female Black Autralorp?

Hello all, Well my girls (13 weeks old today) are finally out of the brooder and into their fancy new coop. I waited this long because the outside temperature have been well over 105 degrees this last month and I felt like that was just way to hot to have them outside even with misters and watering holes. However, since I kept them inside longer than 8 weeks I swear I could hear what sounded like attempts to learn to crow but it could have just been normal "Get us out of here" calling! It is obvious that the other 7 are most defiantly girls so that leads me to wonder if my Black Australorp is a hen or a rooster. I googled and searched but was getting more confused the more I read so I am here to ask others with more experience than me!

So what do you think is my Black Australorp male or female?

Definitely a male.

I had a feeling. Well shucks!

Cockerel, for sure.

Agree with other posts and looks like a boy. In photo 2, it is dark, but looks like his saddle feathers are showing. Comb much bigger than any of ours at that age . Sorry if this wasn’t what you were expecting!

I'm sorry, but I agree with everyone else. Will you be able to keep him?

Nope. Which makes me sad but not able to have roosters.
