That's some nice comb going on there.

Are wattles starting?

 

[chickachicka]

No, I don't see any wattles yet? Should I be worrried?

Or do Australorps have big combs?

 

[HorseFeatherz NV]

Not sure if that breed has large combs or not but generally when I have seen that much comb - 5 wks of age - they are cockerels. I am not an expert, just giving you my guess. Others who know better will be along I am sure.

I really like the multi-colored beak.

that chick looks pretty young to be developing a comb, unless she is a he.
