    Australorp pullet or roo?

I have never owned a australorp before, so I have no clue what the differences are or what each gender looks like. Thanks for any and all guesses! And let's...

    What Gender And Breed Are These 4 Month Old Chickens?

    I got two chickens from my Biology teacher (she hatched them with an incubator in her classroom) and now they're about 4 months old, but I'm not 100% sure of the breed/gender of them. The white one I'm almost certain is a girl, but I'm on the fence with the black one (I want a rooster)...

    So, we have a Silver Laced Wyandotte that is about 3 months old. We got "her" over a month ago thinking we were getting a hen. We sent a photo to the farmer we buy from a he said she looks a lot like a young roo, but isn't sure. We can't have roosters in our town, though. She hasn't crowed or...
