This bird is about sic months old, and we are still not certain of its sex. The wattles and combs just appeared in the last two months. Our younger pullets have larger combs and wattles. No crowing. No tidbitting. But we are getting six eggs a day, and on average, 4 of them are fertilized,or would seem so.

I am posting photos of the bird in question, along with photos of the eggs I think might be fertilized. Your expertise and opinions are welcome.

Thank you all for your help. I wasn't sure if it was a "he" that was just very slow to develop.

We keep ours enclosed so no other birds have access to ours. Neighbors do not keep chickens.

The only other bird in question is our New Hampshire Red. She doesnt look like a rooster, but I guess I could be wrong. She does have the largest wattles.

The other four are definitely pullets; I have seen them lay eggs. Will post a photo of the NHR soon.
 
Here are the other birds. I've seen the other Australorp, the Copper Marans, ans the Buff Orpington lay. I haven't seen the Olive Egger lay, but we get olive eggs every day or two. Thqnks agai. For your feedback and guidance.
