My chicks are about 10-12 weeks old (purchased at a local chick store at about 4-6 weeks). We are feeling pretty confident that most of the mixed flock (EE, Buff Orpington, OE, and Sapphire Gems) seem to be the promised pullets but we have two Black Australorps that are different from one another. Neither is top of the flock. We know there’s no final answer until an egg or a crow - but would love your thoughts!

One has a longer and redder comb (A) than the other (B).

The one with more wattles and comb than the other(A I think) is a cockerel. The other is a pullet.
