Morning! New chicken mom here. Bought these cuties 4 weeks ago, they are growing so quick! They were all supposed to be hens but two of the three are developing much quicker and I'm worried that they are roosters. Any educated guesses to help me out?
Photos A are the same chicken, showing a much more developed comb and slow tail feather growth. Presuming is a rooster.
Photo B is the one I'm presuming is a hen, slow comb growth. She has much longer tail feathers (which I don't have a photo of)
B is much more chill
A is lively and will run up to the other two more "aggressively"
Bought from a breeder.
4 weeks old.
Does anyone know the gender of these chicks? Any help would be appreciated!

a is a cockerel
b is a pullet

i love black australorps! :love
They are adorable!
:( on the cockerel, that is what I'm afraid of which means we have 2 cockerels and one pullet. Not allowed to have cockerels in our city, so they need to go back to the breeder farm :(
