Roo'ish Australorp?

[Wxguru]

One of my 6 week old Australorps... her waddles are much pinker than the others. She isnt overly large compared to others and isnt exhibiting any roo behavior. But noticed this and wanted to get others thoughts. I have 2 other Australorps same age and pale waddles still.

It is possible that "she" is a cockerel. But, many male Australorps have even larger combs and wattles at this age. I don't think that we can be sure that "she" is a cockerel at this point.

Wouldn't the crown be more pink/red as well as larger if it was a roo?

At 6 weeks I'm pretty sure that's a pullet. Maybe post again in 3-4 weeks?

I just became new at this but could I possibly have you post a picture of its wing feathers all spread out to sex it?

I will try to get a pic of that....they aren't too big of a fan of me spreading their wings out at this age....lol

At the age of this bird and given the breed, wing feather sexing is not at all an accurate approach.
