Black chicken - what is it??

[LittleOregonAnnie]

I think it's a cockerel to but my husband thinks it's a confused pullet that doesn't quite know what to do now that the rest of the big cockerels are gone. Wouldn't the feathering be pointier looking on the neck? When do Australorp cockerels start to get sickle feathering on their tails? Sorry to be such a pain. I really thought it was going to be a big fat hen. Now I'm wondering if I need to find a home for this one to.

I would say Black Australorp cockrel.....
My guy is 7 weeks so a bit younger but here is a photo for comparison

and here he is with a same age BA pullet

Sorry the shots aren`t too great as we have a brooder light in the background....and they are younger. Hope it gives you some comparison though.

I think australop as well

EE and ameraucana are not the same thing btw

OK I'm thinking rooster. Thanks for putting up those pics. This little guy had a comb coming in the first couple of weeks.
The feed store sells the EE's as Ameraucanas. Then again, I bought 8 pullets and this black rooster will be my 5th rooster out of the group! OMG
