I have a 7/8 week old black Australop who I suspect is a cockerel because this chicken is the largest of my babies. I just want confirmation :)
Also do you think the black comb will change to red at some point or will it stay black?
Dont mind the hen in the last photo. I think its very clear shes a hen haha

Those wattles say "Male".

At what age did that comb show up? Most of my Aussie boys have their combs showing by 3-4 weeks.

If the dark face is the "gypsy face" trait, he'll red up but might not be as bright a red as a "normal" Australorp. I have several gypsy face birds, all hens.

Yeah this one had the comb pop out at the 4 week mark.
