Australorp mix...............

[Guitartists]

This is my 6 week old Australorp mix. I know it's feet are HUGE.... but it doesn't seem to be rooish at all in any other way. Are Australorps slow developing????

Here it is next to an EE hatched the same time....

At this point it looks like a pullet to me. I'm not sure of the slow to develop, I have some that are a mix also and I could tell roos from pullets at about that age my roos have big combs and good wattles.
My mix is American Game x black Australorp. They are black with silver hackle and saddle feathers and some gold mixed in. I think they are so beautiful. my pullet has the silver hackles.
