Australorp hen or roo?

[Jaws93]

This chick is 10 weeks old and I’m still not sure if boy or girl. Any help would be appreciated!

I'd say hen. I'd also say not pure Australorp. She should have all black feet and no white feathers if a pure Australorp.

Thank you! I was wondering if she was pure, she was sold as pure australorp but he had lots of different breeds so anything is possible lol. So far she’s a sweetheart so I’m glad I can keep her

I like Australorp crosses. They lay well, forage well, are relatively hardy, mostly mellow and some of them go broody. Lots go broody, actually. I've had 3 this year and one full blood Australorp go broody last year.

Any idea what she might be crossed with? She almost has a little beard of feathers but I’m not sure what breeds are bearded besides araucanas?

Olive Egger, I'm guessing. Is the hen next to her also a "Black Australorp?"

Does that mean she’ll possibly lay coloured eggs?
No, the one next to her is a Brahma

Dark Brahma? She is very pretty, but not at all what a Dark Brahma should look like. And yes, colored eggs if that is what she is!
