Black Australorp girl or boy?

Sorry, I say ROO with that much comb and wattles at 6 weeks. None of my girls looked like that even at 12 weeks. Hoping I'm wrong for your sake. I guess you really wanted a girl!

this isn't a great pic but here are two of our australorp pullets at 6 weeks.

My husband to this day still thinks our australorp ladies are boys...they have always had a more noticable comb...and they have been much redder compared to our other girls...however, I think the beautiful big eggs they are laying are proof they are hens!!!

WOW, okay my poachy has much less of wattles than these ones from what I can tell! Thanks feel much better

And she is just starting a hint of pink in the comb, and only then under the sunlight.

I have 2 of them. One always had a larger comb and wattle. It still does at about 30 weeks. They both turned out to be hens.
