Possibly a cockerel among the pullets?

[mcsale]

I have 3 Australorps close to 16 weeks old that are suppose to be pullets, but I’m noticing a difference in tail feather on one. Is #3 a roo?
The first 2 are behaving like pullets. They recently started running up to me when I step outside and squat when petted.

I can't quite see clearly enough to tell if there are any male saddle feathers on that bird. Try putting your hand or a piece of paper under them so you can better make out the shape.

This is a 15 or 16 week Blue Australorp cockerel. See his pointy saddle feathers? That's what you're looking for to confirm his/her sex.

To me, all 3 are pullets

I think we could use a couple better pics of #3 (she's on the run in the first two, and the last only shows the tail).

But, based on the pics we have, I'd also say you've got three pullets.

Pullets. Tails don't mean anything until they're mature.

I believe they are all pullets, too!

Odd man out. I think #3 is male.
I would expect a cockadoodle dooooo

All three look like pullets to me, but agree that the photos of 3 aren't the best.

Thank you. This is helpful!

#3 dislikes the camera. It’s like the chicken knows I’m trying to take a pic
Now, based on their feet, I am wondering if I actually have 2 jersey giants and 1 Australorp in the mix.
