Austrolorp hen??

[Nani87]

Hi newbie to this - have a flock of eight I am wondering about one of the austrolorps sex now. I was convinced one of our wynadottes was a rooster because she was the biggest but consensus say she’s a hen. Now I’m concerned about Roo Roo She is 14 weeks old And I am concerned there’s more to her name then we originally thought I don’t feel like she’s the dominant bird but carries herself differently and has started making a different noise but definitely not a crow. - I think. Her comb and wattles just seem much redder and a bit bigger then her sister. She is probably the most attached to me. She is always last in at night. She is always last in at night But haven’t noticed any other dominant behaviors But haven’t noticed any other dominant behaviors Any comments would be appreciated I tried to follow the new photo guidelines thanks Any comments would be appreciated.

Looks like a pullet to me! I don't see any saddle feathers and the size/redness of her comb and wattles looks about right to me. Some individuals develop quicker than others, even if they are the same age and breed.

I also see a pretty pullet.

If the sister bird is a different breed they will develop at different rates.

Thanks. Just love her. It’s been so neat seeing all their different personalities come out.

Pretty pullet. My Australorps have very red combs also but they are all hens.
