Australorp --hen?

Pullet.

Your picture looks like an 8 to 10 week old cockeral vs. a 4 month old pullet. At 4 months a chicken is pretty much fully grown, but look at that size difference between your chick and the chicken next to it. If the picture is truly that deceiving in size and the chicken is 4 months then its a pullet.

Totally agree with this post!

I have one that is 2 months old that's way big and not a bit of pink in the comb...but like you said if she's actually bigger...then pullet

The original post was a weird angle, through the run door and above. Here is a few snaps while we're cleaning and they're out. Maybe it's a better view of size.

Oh yes! Much better and very Pullet looking! I love Australorps.

What a huge difference in pictures! 100% pullet.

It's funny you said she's bossy because Australorps are generally so docile in nature!

 

[PJones]

That was what I was told. She however has become of of the two look-outs? Twice when she started talking to me she almost crowed. Scared.Me.To.DEATH! Love her and I can't have roosters.

Sometimes a hen will take on the Roo role if there isn't one...so funny it's your Australorp!

I always thought it would be the barred rock. Go figure?

Any help with mine would be appreciated, hens or roosters? Approx 20-22 weeks no eggs yet
