So he is definitely a rooster. Been crowing every morning when he comes out of the coop. He is really starting to get the sheen in his feathers. As long as he isn't aggressive towards the family and myself, and doesn't crow every 15 minutes he will have a happy life.
He is 14 weeks. Guess I will be calling him handsome instead of cutie like my kids named him. Have to see how his tempermant as he matures. Right now he is very calm and docile. Not at all flighty... thanks alexandra33. That is a nice pullet.
I ordered chicks this past spring. I was supposed to have 2 black australorp hens. This is one of them. I do believe he is a rooster judging by his tail feathers. I don't think he is an australorp since his comb is black. Looks more like the sumatra.
