I've posted about Mushroom before, but wanted to get any updated thoughts. 13 weeks old, comb started to color last week. Her Australorp brooder-mate (Pepper) is very clearly a pullet with a tiny pale comb and minimal wattles. My Golden Comets also still have their pale combs with zero wattles, and I understand they'd hit maturity a lot faster than the Australorps.
She has no special saddle or sickle feathers (all are rounded and identical to Pepper's). She is the most outgoing and affectionate, which I understand can be rooster traits. REALLY hoping she's a pullet, as we only have four and don't intend to expand the flock anytime soon.
I've attached photos of both Australorps so you can see the facial difference.
Thanks for your help
EDIT: Should mention that everyone's extra flushed because they just finished cricket chasing! Anyone that has pavers or rocks around their pen, lift them up for free snacks!
