Black Australorp?

[6 hens a dozen questions]

Australorps are great layers - how old are they? at 12 weeks or so, chicks start showing gender feathering at hackles & saddle .

Not sure we’ve had them a week

 

[Crazy for Chickens!]

For telling the gender, wait until around six weeks, then study closely, and any chicks that have bigger, red combs will be cockerels. If you aren't sure, you can wait until twelve weeks, and start looking for pointy saddle, (base of tail, going down on either side) hackle, (neck) and sickle (tail) feathers. Pointy and long means boy, rounded means female.

They look about 2 to 2.5 weeks old in the photo.

It look to me like the two red ones are girls of course and the australorps I need a more clear pic to see
