I ended up returning all 4 to the breeder we got them from. They all continued to look more and more like roos. Here’s a photo of the two girls we got in return for stark contrast! One is an olive egger (orange tone feathers) and the other is Australorp.

Which ones from today do you think look like hens?

What’s the thoughts today. Roughly 11 weeks old. A B C D @Overo Mare @desp4him @EmmaRainboe

I’d estimate they’re coming up to about 10 weeks. I picked them up on Oct 4th at a few days old.

I think I definitely need to keep them all for a fair few more weeks. They’ve kept me guessing for a while on gender. I honestly don’t think they’re all roos like the breeder thinks.

Chook 1 who I think hen Chook 2 I think roo Chook 3 I think hen Chook 4 I think roo

Thanks yes tah she just died the other day.

I’ll get more soon when home. The photos I posted a few mines ago are a photo each of the 4 I have.

This is a gorgeous australorp hen I’ve got at the moment laying an egg a day so you can see how the red wattles and combs can throw ya off when they definitely come out dark red when they’ve matured. So makes me wonder whether there’s any maturing early perhaps too..

I can get more for sure. I’ll sort that after school pickup. Didn’t know about above. What should I be looking for with the girls? The lady we got from thinks they’re all roos at this stage. I’m so unsure on 1 and 2 for definite. She takes back roos but I don’t want to pass back until I’m 100%...

@Emelyn @Overo Mare whats your thoughts on today? Was hard to get picks they just wanted to keep running up to me or standing together 🤣 I’m thinking number 2 is still a girl contender but 3 and 4 for sure roos. Not sure about 1??

Any thoughts on them today? 1 2 3 4

Thanks. Yes I’m definitely torn as there’s two that I definitely think are girls and the other two I’ve been unsure of the whole time. I’ve read quite a bit on many that have had redder looking combs and then were hens after all. I won’t be sending any back until I’m definitely sure so I’ll be...

Just taken these now. Sorry new to the page not familiar with uploading format. One, possible Roo? (One kept photobombing) Two, I think definite roo. Three I’m thinking definite girl Four, girl?

I’ll take more today. Do you mean a separate post for each chicken?

No probs, tah ;) even the lady that we got them from isn’t certain either. So haven’t had much luck from their breeder except the wait and see approach…

I’m thinking more and more this may be the case. 1 and 3 boys, and 2 and 4 girls?

I have four australorps, four different birds here. 2 pictures for each chicken.

Any ideas what genders these four black australorps may be? For a while we thought 2 of each and then it looked like maybe 4 of each and now I’m not 100% sure on the two that may be roos but may just hens that are maturing earlier than the other two. These photos were taken a week ago at roughly...
