Australorps now 5-1/2 weeks. Gender? Updated pics post #20

Thanks! It's been quite an adventure. They are getting their own personalities. I was hoping for 3 pullets, but 2 is better than none!

They could be Black Plymouth Rocks, I guess. Also, could be Australorps, which is much more likely. I have one Black Rock pullet who is six weeks old now. It comes from a blue x blue or black x black breeding. Only Barred Rocks have a spot on the head (or a blue x barred breeding would if male).

I thought that BA had black beaks and legs, those have yellow beaks. Not barred plymoth rocks, they would have the barring by this age. The two with pink coloring are roos, the other two are pullets

They don't look like my barred rocks. My chicks had a definite spot on their head. They resemble the Black Australorp chick that I have.

They are not Barred Rocks, but they could be Black Rocks, which appear similar. Rocks come in more colors than just barred and white. Aussies have black beaks and black legs/white skin. Rocks have yellow beaks and yellow legs (though there is some dark color on the fronts of the black and blue varieties, I believe. Now, they could be Jersey Giants, but hard to say. Anyone of our experts want to chime in here?

They look just like the Black Australorps I bought yesterday!! (The chick pic) Especially that white tip on their wings!!!

The bottoms of their feet are white, which is what led me to think they are Australorp versus Jersey Giant (I think they are supposed to have yellow). Right?

Thanks everyone!!

My Australorps are now almost 6 weeks. Here are some updated pics:

A The one on the top left is the one on the left in the first pic on post #1. His comb is bigger than the others and reddened faster as well.
B The one on the bottom left is the second chick in the first pic. The wattles are about the same as A above. The comb is pink but smaller.
C The one on the right is turned around in the first pic and closest to the camera in the 2nd. Comb is pink like B but wattles are barely there.

D This one is the 4th. Nearly identical to C.

The first guesses leaned toward A&B roo, C&D pullet. Should the combs be pink and this size for a BA pullet at 5-1/2 weeks? I'm really hoping I don't have all roos!
