Australorp Sex

[Orprahlorp]

I have three 17 week old Australorps, an one has developed a much more pronounced comb and wattle than the other two. It doesn't have any other features of a rooster (saddle feathers of crowing). Is it an early developing female or do I have a rooster?

I'm seeing a pullet getting ready to lay.

 

[speckledhen]

Yup, just a pullet close to laying age. No males here.

X3 on pullet. BAs are excellent layers of large, brown eggs. You should get lots of them from that girl. )

 

[roostersandhens]

Pullet!

 

[Mountain Peeps]

Pullet for sure

Agree pullet, and close to laying. Your other girls will all look like her here soon.
