if it is 12 weeks old, then i change my opinion from roo to pullet. healthy looking.

Is there any spur buds developing? I'm on the fence, they look feminine but... ???

 

[emjay]

thankyou smarsh, I am glad they look healthy, I kind of spoil them, with lots of good healthy treats.

and I hope they are all pullets, that would make my day.

I haven't seen any noticeable spur buds.

I have 8 Aussie pullets and 4 Aussie Roo's. I had one that I thought was a hen forever! I couldn't really tell on mine until they were 18-20 weeks.

We have four hens all hatched the same time and all four have developed at different rates.
One was way bigger than the others and had thick legs and was very bossy. Absolutely the boss of the flock.
It turned out to be a hen and once the banty frizzle roo came she calmed down on the bossy stuff.
Hard to tell until the develop more

Here's a picture of my BA boy at 12 weeks old. He started crowing at 10 weeks old!

To me, yours look like females at that age.

Oh yeah - you gotta lotta girls!

My little guy went to live on my friend's farm south of here. He keeps company w/ 36 older hens, and we sometimes go and visit (and bring fav treats!) Here he is at the end of September, hackles molting, about 21-22 weeks old:

Never thought I'd say it, but I miss him.

what a lucky boy, 36 ladies, he must be in roo heaven. If one of mine is a roo, he gets the same deal, a new flock to enjoy, all his.
But, I'm liking you telling me I have all gals. yay.
