Australorp Gender Verification

[hysop]

They are 11 weeks old today.

new pictures, caught them all to move them to a new area: (they look winded because I chased them to catch them, I’m pretty winded myself)

ETA: All ended up being cockerels!

I'm not entirely sure on the first, but I'm leaning towards pullet; the second one looks like it could be a rooster; the third one, I'm sure, is a rooster.
They're very pretty birds!

I think those are cockerels. Heres a reference picture of my 11 week old australorp mixes.

Here’s one of mine at around 8 weeks and now at 10 weeks not too much difference in size of comb. I believe you have 3 cockerels.

I’ll return and verify but that answers my question on whether or not I will be selling them. I guess I’ll let them grow a few more months and eat them.

Their dad was a mean ol’ rooster so I guess his line will end here because they too will be going to the pot.

Thank you so much. You have saved me the embarrassment of posting them as pullets just to find out they were male.

All 3 ended up being cockerels. Two will be food and one I will be keeping forever IF he’s nice

Thank you everyone.
