These are supposed to be black alstrop from TSC. Three 1/2 weeks old. Is it too early to say if cockerel or pullet? Different photos but they include the same 2 birds. TIA

Edit to add that I made assumptions. These chicks are from my son’s very small flock. Picture has been added. He got these from TSC and they told him the black ones were Australorp. So I assumed my black chicks were from his black birds. His rooster is not one though so they would be a mix.

Id say they are pullets.
But i agree with JedJackson that they may not be full Australorps. Maybe its just the picture but it look like this one has a small poof on its head. And the chest coloring

Yes I thought I also seen a bit of wild hair and some reddish/white chest coloring. Mind sharing with us where you got them?

For now I think they are pullets, but it's still quite early to tell.
