12 week Black Australorp. Rooster or hen? This is our first time owning chickens!

I believe you have a male. One of my Black Australorp pullets developed very early, but even she did not have that much comb and wattle.

Dude. I know, I've got 5 of them (BA cockerels).

That’s what I was thinking too.

I have 2 others and they don’t have that much comb or wattle either. Was hoping maybe she was just developing faster, but that along with what is looking like saddle feathers really made me think possible roo! Thank you!

With the saddle feathers and the comb my newbie guess is a roo.
