8 week old Australorp...Pullet or Roo?

[clrdogrl]

Is this 8 week old Australorp a Pullet or Roo? Haven't ever had an Australorp before so I don't know much about the breed and sexing.

Cockerel.

Really? I was thinking that the comb and wattle were pink and not red. Is it because the stance? Or tail feathers?

Its tail and the way it's holding its body says cockerel. However, the paleness color to the comb and waddle says pullet. I'd just give it a little more time.

Me too - no harm in waiting a few more weeks for it to develop. Otherwise you could end up rehoming a pullet unintentionally.
