Black Australorp

Came from Rural King, is Blue Plymouth Rock correct? Around 6 weeks old, pullet or Cockerel?

No.. that bird is black, not blue... which sometimes does come from blue matings.. since blue only breeds true 50% of the time. It's also not a Rock... however what has been sold in the recent past as "blue Plymouth Rock" is as follows...

With those big dark eyes... I would agree with other that SHE may indeed be black Australorp!

Nothing indicating cockerel at this time. Most are throwing clues by six weeks.. barring late bloomers, I am also saying pullet. Lovely mix of characters ya got there!

The younger pictures look more like rooster to me

Maybe im imaging it but I think I saw a little bit of a green sheen to some of the feathers when I was looking at them today?! I have 2 of these plus 4 Brahmas, 2 speckled Sussex (1 a cockerel), 1 GLW and 1 buff Orpington...plus 20 2 week old barnyard mixes that have some really cool colors that I can’t wait to see how they turn out. (I’ll be giving at least half of the younger ones to my in laws). I’m going to have a colorful flock!

Green sheen is very common in black birds including females. It's very beautiful too. Some standards of perfection allow for it while others do not.

Good times, great adventures!
