6 week old Black Australorps sexing

Here are pics of my 6 week old BA chicks. They are supposed to be pullets (ordered through a hatchery). Can anyone confirm this for me? I really love their sweet personalities

They look like pullets. But can you please take closer face pics? Thanks!

It might take me a little bit to get better pics, but I'll try

Ok! They look like pullets.

Agreed.

I think I'd wait about 2-4 weeks more before celebrating, one does have a larger,darker comb. They do look like sweethearts!!

I got 5 Australorps with my order in March. I secretly was hoping for a rooster out of my 13 chicks. Two of my Australorps have had bigger combs for weeks & I have read the stories where people didn't know they had a rooster until they were 10+ weeks old, so I still had hope. Mine will be 10 weeks tomorrow, but I see no real signs of them being a rooster, even though one has gotten small wattles already. Australorps must be tricky to sex. I usually know straight combed birds by 3-4 weeks.
