Heck of a comb on that guy, but I've never had an Australorp, Do you have others to compare it to?

Six Barred Rocks, 10 other Australorps a Orpington and a Comet. Non of the others have a comb half that size.

Looks like a boy to me then, but you probably guessed that yourself.

I figured that at about 3 weeks old when his comb turned bright red. I like getting other peoples opinions though.

Plowing snow is a biotch, plowing blind would be a nightmare!

Thanks guys, we worked hard on it. The good news is... I have room to hatch more!

Posting some of the extra boys on CL now, hope I can get rid of them. I caught some mating going on last night, just before dark. And one of the GS boys looks like he's getting picked on a little.

Good luck, we just got rid of a doz boys and still gotta sift through some more, lol... awesome coop job!!

Glad to hear that... Aussies all have fairly big combs, but that pink/red before 10 weeks is a dead giveaway, lol...
