Are these 6.5 week old Australorps hens?

I think that splash is a cockerel. It had way too much comb and wattle at a young age. I think its slow to bring in its saddle feathers, but I still think its a cockerel.

Thanks for your reply ... will wait and see.

Any updates?

They are 17 weeks old tomorrow ... tail still sticks up but shape of feathers still matches the other. And no rooster noises. So thinking we’ve got 2 girls. Felt the pelvic bones on them today and they are about 1.5 fingers apart so from my reading think that means they are on ther way to expandng ready for egg laying. Assume a rooster would have very little gap??

Here's photos @ 17 weeks old

Are these bumps on the legs normal for a hen? Couldn't get a close look at the dark coloured one but hoping she is not a he and getting spurs. Ages ago I could feel a slight bump on both chickens legs so figured it normal. But it looked more pronounced on the Splash Australorp this morning.

https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/are-these-6-5-week-old-australorps-hens.1225898/ Have a look at this persons australorps, both have turned out to be hens even though a lot of people said the splash was a rooster. Australorps can be hard to sex and it's easy to mistake the slightly bigger comb for male
