Australorps breed Thread

I am new here. Need help to determine gender. Three month old bird.

Any black Australorp experts out there that can give an opinion?

Yeah agree with ronott. Very rooster looking tail feathers going on.

Thanks all. Majorly disappointed. Need to find him a new home as roosters aren't allowed.

Good luck. He's a pretty little bird, someone will enjoy him.

How about eggs and big, pretty rooster?

it would be nice to have another big boy running around.

He told us he's ready to move out.

Well I've got a few of ladies that are in dire need of a new boyfriend. And an empty tray in the incubator. And I get off early on Friday. Just throwing that out there.

Redwolf,
Sorry to say at 12 weeks you have a good looking cockerel (young boy) aka rooster to some.

Absolutely agree as well. Unless you are in dire need of eggs, you could get someonoe to caponize him and that will totally change him...Almost certainly no crowing and IT would be extremely calm and make an excellent pet. Just an idea, if you are very attached to him!!!

Wow. Ok, thanks for the suggestion. I will look into it. I would love to keep him.
