Austra White...Hen or Rooster?

[casslowman]

One of my friends mentioned that my Austra White (the yellow/white one with the black stripe) has the characteristics of a rooster, but I'm pretty sure that's just how the breed looks.

She's probably about 2-3 weeks old now. We got her as a sexed "day old" female on March 22 but she was already growing her feathers in so I'm pretty sure she's closer to 3 weeks than 2.

Can anyone confirm/deny his suspicions or is it more or less a waiting game at this point?

It's a waiting game, 8-12 weeks are the most accurate times. Feather growth depends on heat, if they're kept warm they don't grow feathers as soon

I would wait another 2 weeks and check back in again

We have an Austra White that is 3 weeks old and looks the exact same -- what did yours turn out to be - hen or rooster?!
