Well it looks like 1, 2, 3 are all cockerels, but it looks like 4 is a pullet.

I agree.

3 is a black sex link pullet. A cross of BO roo X BR hen.

What makes you say that? (I hope you're right.)

#3 has a rose comb, so no Orpington there. More likely a Wyandotte cross.

Would you suspect it's a roo or pullet? Australorp appears to be the most dominant breed I reckon.

 

[junebuggena]

Australorps have white skin that is dominant. I think that one parent might be an Australorp mix, the other was probably a Wyandotte. 1, 2, 3 all look like cockerels.

The breeder does have free roaming black wyandottes so that could be possible. I'm hoping #3 is a pullet as it has great marking but I'll just have to wait and see.
