These are the 2 in question. Like I said, nothing screams roo except they have a little bit bigger combs and more color on them. But I constantly 2nd guess myself since I am a newbie.

In front is the Jersey Giant. Back is a Black Australorp. More wattle growth on the BA, but it's not like a huge amount I don't guess. Idk.

Left is a frontal shot of the JG. Left is the BA.

Side shot of BA.

The chick in the middle is the BA from above pics. Just a dif side shot.


They don't like to take pics very well. I have a crap-ton of blurry pics on my phone that I need to delete. Sry it took me so long to respond. I was trying to figure out the best pics to try to use.

How old are they? They all look like pullets to me.

I’m sticking to all pullets then. There would be more growth in the combs and wattles by now in the BA’s

We NEED this hen to not be broody. We’d only have two hens left that we could get fertile eggs from and we just had someone order a dozen.

That makes me happy. I would kind of like a rooster but I would like to wait until they are older if possible. So yeah. Makes me happy.

And hatchery BA hens can have HUGE combs and wattles. So don't worry if they continue to grow. Only worry if they start growing male plumage..... or crow

Trying so hard to catch up but supposed to be at a friend's for dinner at 6!!! Don't worry they live close! No I didn't fall off the face of the earth but just got way behind. I'm only on pg 1166!!!and I've got to leave. Maybe I'll catch up tonight. @Tesumph hoping I'll see good news about the chick when I finally do!
