4 week old Australorp pullet… with HUGE legs??

Behavior and leg width aren't good indication of gender. It could be a late bloomer or a pullet.

Update- 8 weeks old. Still looks like a pullet to me? But she acts like a ROO!! Her legs are like tree trunks just like the rooster we have. And she’s still bossy as ever.View attachment 3833073View attachment 3833074View attachment 3833076

I'd still say pullet. Unless you see a lot of wattles coming in in next week or so, but as someone else said legs aren't always a sigh(in my experience) good luck!

Okay should be Australorp then. White or pinkish is Australorp. black or yellow is Jersey Giant.

Yup. My Australorp is really bossy and not the least bit timid, though not aggressive to the other girls at all. They are a big breed, at least ones I've had, and she is larger than her littermates of various ages, even the older ones. So maybe she's just leggy? I would expect more comb on a roo by now, but that's subjective, too. So it's a mystery!

My three almost 4 week old looks identical to your original post pictures. I came here looking for the answer because of the giant legs too. Let's hope it's a pullet!!

12-week old updated pictures of bossy Ms. Jazzy! Her comb is a bit bigger and she has longer tail feathers… do those tail feathers look roosterish?

Nothing indicates rooster.

She just looks like a hen to me. But I'm notoriously bad at gender, so, don't take that to the bank.

At 12 weeks you can usually see if it's a rooster. The feathering, colours and crest all look like a pullet to me.

She's a girl. Some girls are just big girls. I have had pullets that were noticeably larger with thick legs. My late girl Parsley was the biggest of the bunch and laid green eggs, and Ginkgo was also the biggest of her group and has thick legs and while she's not laying yet, I'm 99% sure she is indeed a she (zero other roo traits besides being big). I am pretty sure you just have a big bossy girl

At 12 weeks I'm confident that's a pullet (prev pictures I was leaning pullet but not certain). An australorp cockerel should have a much bigger, much brighter comb and wattles by now.
