Australorp - Gender

Looks like a hen to me. I have two Aussie roosters at 27 weeks old, mine have their greater sickle feathers and have had them since week 20. Your bird doesn't have a very red comb, so that looks more like a hen to me. If she's being rowdy in the coop with your other birds, that might just be her personality, and/or her stance in the pecking order. Here are pictures of my birds for reference against your's:


 
Thank you, @AussieMama Sorry for taking so long to reply. Yes, my Delilah doesn't look remotely roo-ish now... just her spiky hackle feathers but that must be just 'her.' Yours are beautiful!
 
Thank you, @PandCo Seems like we have similar Austras! Delilah is now 26 weeks and no sign of eggs yet, but I'm happy now she's a pullet - I must be patient!
 
Please help! I've posted on other threads and have been told that one or both of our Australorps are roosters, I think because of the red combs, but all pics I see of Australorp hens have big red combs too. We would love to get opinions from Australorp experts :D

They are between five and six weeks old, purchased from TSC, unsexed.

I agree with TheKindaFarmGal. I wish you the best with these two!
