I don't know why this is bothering me so much, but it is. I've looked and looked and found some pics of an Austrlorp pullet and cockerels for those like me that are confused. Pics 1, 3 and 4 are the cock and pic 2 is the pullet. Notice the nice even rounded feathers on the pullet? All birds pictured are 17 weeks old.
