Australorp pullet or rooster

[Laylaloveschickens]

well that old chestnut. Sold an australorp pullet I think Penny might be Peter. Aprox 6 weeks I know it’s a chunky breed but her drumsticks are bootylicious and that comb is growing. What’s your thoughts she is also very very confident with the other hens even fronts up the grown ones and chases them!. I have taken a pic of the comb legs and hackle feathers. Thank you

Definitely a cockerel. The give away to me is that he still has baby fluff. I had 5 brahma chicks who were supposed to be pullets. Well 4 started feathering in at 2 weeks but 1 didn’t start until at least 6 or so weeks. That one turned out to be a rooster.

Hmmm as I feared. No roosters allowed in our council :/ I will do another post on de-crowing I love her/him now so would hate to have to find a new home. But don’t want to do anything cruel either.
