Black Australorp gender help please :)

[amanda2238]

Can I have separate pictures I'll be able to tell the genders that way

I’ll take more today. Do you mean a separate post for each chicken?

Obviously with better pics and Austrolorps, and depending on whether you named them or not.You could go like this:
Boots or Cochin 1

Soldier or Cochin 2:

Plum or Cochin 3:

Any ideas what genders these four black australorps may be? For a while we thought 2 of each and then it looked like maybe 4 of each and now I’m not 100% sure on the two that may be roos but may just hens that are maturing earlier than the other two.
These photos were taken a week ago at roughly 7 weeks old. I’ve included close up profiles and full shots of each. I’ll get more tomorrow if there’s any other parts that might help specifically. I would say their feathers all look similar and are rounded as far as I can tell, none appear pointy looking.

This is a close call, I see one or maybe two possible Cockerels, but I would wait in order to be 100% certain on all of them. Always keep on the lookout for shiney feathers on their shoulders, and their back (right in front of the tail) for saddle feathers.

I have had a couple young hens with major combs growing up, and both turned out to be hens, so the combs can occasionally throw one off.

This was licorice, my Aussie rooster! He has passed sadly, about four years ago.

Yeah

Just taken these now. Sorry new to the page not familiar with uploading format.

One, possible Roo? (One kept photobombing)



Two, I think definite roo.


Three I’m thinking definite girl


Four, girl?

Yep - your assumptions are correct. Much better pics.

Update with new pics of the two pullets in a few weeks.

Thanks. Yes I’m definitely torn as there’s two that I definitely think are girls and the other two I’ve been unsure of the whole time. I’ve read quite a bit on many that have had redder looking combs and then were hens after all. I won’t be sending any back until I’m definitely sure so I’ll be holding onto them until there’s any definite crowing.

Yay I was correct !

 

[amanda2238]

Looks like you've got one definite cockerel, maybe two. Australorps often comb up early.

Update with new pics in a couple weeks.

Any thoughts on them today?

2

@Emelyn @Overo Mare whats your thoughts on today? Was hard to get picks they just wanted to keep running up to me or standing together I’m thinking number 2 is still a girl contender but 3 and 4 for sure roos. Not sure about 1??
