Breed and gender??

Only 7 weeks old, so no egg laying yet. I went ahead and added two pictures of when it was a couple of days old

Just when think back did he seem heavier? Or grow very slow compared to the others? The tail makes me think a roo. We had a australorp at my school and hid face looked just like that.

Either black australorp or black sex link. More likely it's a black sex link, because of the orange on the breast.

I think it is a pullet.

Looking at pictures, I was thinking my only chance that it is a pullet is if it is a black sex link!

Most likely black sexlink. black australorps have black legs

likely a pullet, comb development might look like a roo's but black sexlink hens get big combs and waddles

I think it's a black sex link, in which case it would be a girl.

Has always been smaller than the others. Definitely the boldest of them all and the one to challenge everyone else, though.

If it is a pullet, it’s a black sex link. If it’s a cockerel, it’s an Asian black.

black australorp rooster

Australorps are solid black, they don’t have any red feathers.

Might be a maran. Do these things look similar?

I had considered a Maran during my Google "research" but then thought all the baby chicks looked like they had too much white/yellow on them compared to mine??
