I had tried looking at their legs and they all look pretty much the same except maybe one, but that could've been wishful thinkingI've hatched a lot of Australorp over the years and it seems to me that the males usually have obviously bigger legs than the females do. No guarantee but I would guess female for all of them.
HelloHere are our 5 new black australorp chicks, they are only 3 days old but I thought it would be fun to start guessing gender and do a photo shoot with them.They weren't really in to posing for pics but my daughter has been wanting to do the cupcake liner skirts
They are just over 5 weeks old I still think chick #1 is a female, she had longer wings from the start and sprouted tail feathers and her other feathers quicker than the others. She is calmer and more stand-offish too. Chicks #2-5 are all developing at identical rates, they started with short little wings and still barely have tail feathers. They are all four wild and like to stand up tall and challenge each other even bumping chests. They are more aggressive when it comes to getting snacks from our hands.
