we have 2 Australorp chickens - a splash (pale colour) and a blue (dark grey).

They were vent sexed before we got them and are supposed to be girls, but my daughter is getting nervous.

Amy, the pale one, is significantly bigger, and her wattle is just beginning to grow pink, while Lou, the dark one, is smaller and what little wattle energy has is paler.

These are our first and only chickens so it’s all new to us.
Hoping they are both girls, but would love your thoughts.

I would think if they were vent sexed then where ever you got them should replace them. If you do have a male. That's just good business.
Yes they will, but it’s a 4 hour return trip to the place and my daughters attached.
 
Could you please post some more photos? 6.5 weeks is quite young to sex them at based on comb and wattle. I'm not 100% convinced yet that either are cockerels and a 4 hour trip sucks
