New chicken parent! These arrived 2 weeks ago. Not sure of age or gender. Supposed to be australorp pullets 15-22 weeks old. Have done research and it seems very confusing. Thank you bunches for any help.

They are Black Australorps and closer to 15 weeks old. They will likely molt one more time and then their combs and wattles will get bigger and have more of a red color.

They are lovely pullets!

Expect eggs in 4 to 6 weeks.

Thank you for responding so promptly! I did think they were a bit on the young side. So glad to hear they are girls but I was willing to live with a possible breeding pair. The babies are adorable...almost like a calico coloring. ☺☺☺
