5 week old Australorp gender?

Did you notice if any or your Australorps hens had small 'spur bumps' ? I have two one fully feathered and one fluffy barely feathered. I am hoping they are both girls but.....

Both hens and roosters have small bumps where spurs would be from the time they hatch, so this isn't an indicator of gender. This develops into spurs later on in roosters, although rarely you will see a hen with spurs. I had a production red hen with a 2 inch long spur on one foot before.

Thank you for your quick reply. AFTER I asked it dawned on me to check the chicks. I found the bumps on all of them. I was relieved and felt silly all at the same time.
