These are my two little austrolorps. I keep changing my mind back and forth from them being roos, then hens and now maybe one of each? They're combs arent too huge but have been pink for a while (were never yellow like I've seen on some hens, but they havent neccesarily gotten darker). I just noticed last night, while taking the photos that one seems to have shinier and pointier feathers which indicated roo right? I hope not. But heres some pics:










 
The bottom pic looks to me like it very well might be a male...the other I can't tell. I can only tell by the comb. If it's red already it is a boy...orange is fine, peach colored is fine...pink or red for me so far have meant boys.
 
Yeah, combs on both chicks are a light pinkish colour. Dear oh dear. If it helps I took a close up head shot of each chick last night:\
