Australorp Rooster?

[miller0]

Hi all,

Please confirm my suspicions that what I have here is a rooster... pics of my other two australorps for comparison. Thanks!

He’s a cockerel. He has pointed saddle feathers, they don’t lie.

Thank you. How about the others, they appear as hens?

They’re pullets. I don’t think the pullet on the left in the last pic is an Australorp. I’m not sure what she could be but comb looks wrong and the tufts shouldn’t be there

Thanks for your replies. One rooster isn’t as bad as 3! I live in a suburban area, so will have to go...

Unsure about the last pullet either. Does appear to be at least australorps but perhaps mixed with something. They were all purchased together as chicks so they should have been purebred, but perhaps not...

Hope you find a good home for him. I would contact the breeder about their pureness. The cockerel and pullet on the right are Australorps. May have been another hen in the breeding pen on accident for the other pullet though

I would seriously think you took a picture of my australorps. I have 1 rooster, 1 with a dark beak, and 1 with a pink beak.
Definitely a rooster

I ordered 3 australorp and funny both of my hens look just like those. 1 dark beak, little to no comb or waddle and 1 pink beak with comb and waddle.
I'm still (sorta) new to chickens. Ordered from meyer hatchery. I thought they had a good reputation.

How old are they? The first one pictured is a cockerel, no doubts. The second one pictured *could* be a cockerel. The last picture, with three chickens, the one on the far left is a pullet.

They were born 30/07/19.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like one rooster is definitely confirmed.
Here’s a pic showing the my other two in question... any confident ideas on their gender too?
