I have 5 young Australorp chicks hatched on Feb. 22 and I still don't know what sex they are. I have looked all over the internet, and all over this site and I'm still not sure. There is one that I'm pretty sure is a roo, and I've tried comparing the others to him, but I really stink at this.

I will post some pics later... Is there something in particular I should go by when sexing this breed? And at what age is it the easiest to tell the roos from the pullets? Thanks so much for any help. Pics to follow.....
 
My four are 8 weeks old now and I still don't know! I try to compare them to each other, too, but still can't decide. Unless they're all roos!!

I sure hope someone can tell me who is who. Maybe I do have all roos, I don't know.
