Australorps - 2 months - what gender?

Bird one -










Bird two -










Sorry they seem to be a little fuzzy - happy to take some more if they are not clear enough. Thanks in advance.

Both appear to be pullets, but the first is not an Australorp..

 

[cate0404]

Thanks for the reply, why do you think it's not an Australorp? These birds were both from a breeder that has (as far as I am aware) tried to have no mixed breeding in his program. If it is not an Australorp any guess as to what it may be?

It kinda looks x polish

Exactly.

Australorps do not have crests

I have a few polish mixes that look like this. If it has feathered legs it could be part silkie

Lol from Australia via Poland, I agree. And the second bird does not have a crest but the head looks sharper than the Australorps I've seen. Don't know that it's pure, either.
At one month they both look like pullets.

right now both appear to be pullets and neither look like australorps to me

Agreed ... my three never looked like that ...

Well that really sucks here I am thinking I have brought two australorps and they both appear to be crosses! I have three americanas on order with him I might have to rethink. Thanks for the responses.

I have learned that when buying chicks, sellers can be deceiving. I have 5 roos and 3 pullets because I'm new and can't even guess day old chicks sexes. Smh lol
