Well my Little Australorps are almost 2 weeks old. They seem to be growing quite a bit slower than my EE's did

Mine were also slower than the EES with them. The cockerel has gotten quite a bit bigger than the petite little pullet and the EES are bigger than both of them.

Outdoorlover, if you go back to page 1128 and scroll down there's a video clip of mine at 3 weeks old. You'll probably have to click on settings at the bottom of the video and change the resolution to 480p. The majority are cockerels there, but the blue one and the one next to her at 20 seconds are pullets. You can tell the cockerels have shorter tails and fuzz on their shoulders because the feathers haven't grown in yet, the pullets have longer tails and the feathers on their shoulders are mostly grown in. Hope this helps.

Watching your video makes me think mine is a pullet

Thanks!

Got them coming out of your ears, huh Kurt? Now that would be a sight! I just got me a new Blue Aussie rooster, so I'm letting him do his thing over here with 5 Aussie hens of all 3 colors. I should have the B/B/S hatching eggs start popping out in a couple more days. Flash, the Splash rooster has his own hens to woo.
