Blue Australorps - Roos or Hens?

[KatF]

Hi all! I have two 5.5 to 6 week old Blue Australorps. Roosters or hens or still too early to tell? Thanks!

Australorps don't have rose combs.
Yes they are cockerels both of them.
I'm suspecting they're Blue Wyandottes.

You know I've been wondering why their combs are weird... that would explain it! LOL I've suspected they were cockerels for a week or two but thank you for confirming!

You're welcome. Hopefully you can keep them.

Blue Wyandotte cockerels; Australorps have single combs while Wyandottes sport rose combs according to their breed standard of perfection, although straight combs do occasionally pop up. Wyandottes are also yellow skinned, and you can see quite a bit of yellow in their shanks/feet.
