Ok. Thank you for your feedback. His/her wings appeared to have double rows of feathers from the very beginning. This was a day old chick when I got him/her, and I checked the wings several times in the first few days. Does the double row of feathers hold true for Australorps as a possible indication of being female?

All the bologna on the internet about wing sexing is just not true.
It only works for very specific lines of birds.

Thanks for taking the time to give your feedback! I was thinking the same thing, not to mention the HUGE feet. The wings just throw me for a loop! What appears to be a double row of feathers, even from a day old, just confuses me. Again, Australorps are new to me so I’m still learning.

Stick around and you'll learn heaps. Welcome to BYC!

Thank you so much for your help!!! What is the most obvious, determining factor that indicates to you that this little chick is a cockerel?

Age and comb.

Keep reading Keeks.

It is impossible for me to not respond/read ahead. Sorry guys.

That is what I was thinking as well. What are your thoughts when you look at the wings?

I'm not certain that Australorps can be feather sexed.

Hens do not get this much comb growth this early.

Ok great! I was thinking it seemed like a lot of comb very early on...even for a breed that has a full, large comb. Thank you for your feedback
