Hi everyone

We have just got into keeping chickens, starting off with a light sussex and an Australorp, with more to come soon. Both chickens are now about 19 weeks old, so we are waiting with baited breath for the first eggs!

I've gone through this and other posts and am thinking are now thinking that the Australorp may actually (probably?) be a he rather than a she. If she is a roo we can return him to the breeder for a swap (which the breeder has said she will do no problems). So just before we do head back to the breeder, I'm hoping for some confirmation one way or the other. Boy or Girl?

In the second video, about 10 sec before the end, the Australorp makes a (very poor) attempt at a crow, however does not do this every day (maybe 3 times over the last week) and then only when she first comes out of the coop.

Many thanks in advance.

Yes he is definitely a cockerel and not pure bred australorp looking at the red colouring on his wings.
