Please please please share your pictures when yoy can! I spent the last weeks searching online for Australorp chicks pictures and I still can't get enough!

Here are my 6 weeks old Australorps

@Shipgirl thank you! They're really cute! I saw your post and already commented there yesterday... but after I read the post found by dominiquePL I decided that Australorps can be very tricky!
Yesterday I told you that only number 4 seemed to be pullet, but now I would say there's still hope! Your chicks are not that different from mine when they were 6 weeks old, so let's see how these combs grow in the next weeks!

I’m reserving judgement. I bet within 2 weeks they will show better

I just realized I don't really know how do saddle feathers look like in young cockerels. Of course I can recognize them in adult roosters, but I'm not sure here! Am I seeing ponty feathers coming in? I'm speaking about the one on the right, but if you see any other pointy feathers please let me know! They are 11.5 weeks old now.

?

Oh please, don't! She hasn't even got a proper comb, that would be a sick joke
I have absolutely no idea how to do those feathers, either i know they ask to put a sheet od paper under to be able to see them better.
This waiting is wearing me out

I'll try to take better pictures in the next days :/
