I'm fairly certain this one's a Black Australorp.

 

The question is:  pullet or rooster?  (This one's about 8 weeks old.)

 

Thanks in advance!

Cockerel.

Having an Icelandic in the coop is like having a 2 year old in the house - they are into everything and don't follow the rules.

I have zero chicken willpower.

I 'm about to feel like a total moron.  I sold a "for sure" rooster and a pullet, since I didn't want to break up a pair.   Looks like I should've waited...  he.gif

 

Is it totally obvious this is rooster?  I won't be offended, I have no idea... hence the post.  How can you tell, so I know in the future?

As I siad I am a newbie, but from what I've read because of how bright red/pink the comb is and how large it is thats a way to tell.
