Help with sexing a blue australorp

[Taini]

This is my first time keeping chickens so I have little to no knowledge in guessing their sex. Can anyone help me in sexing my blue australorp? I am not quite sure of its age either, so any advise on either would be much appreciated!!!

I'm sure you'll be glad to know that she is a hen.

She's small so she'll probably be around 4-6 months.
Very pretty!

what signs gave away its sex??

A rooster would have a much bigger and redder comb by now, her small feet and thin legs and also the lack of shiny saddle and tail feathers also gave her away.

what signs gave away its sex??

First - Wow, nice lacing. Blues rarely have good lacing except in Andalusians.

Second, definite girl. Boys will have solid dark blue wings, developing dark lustrous blue saddle feathers and hackle feathers, and a darker blue curved male tail, larger than the female's developing.

Thanks for the help. I hope you are all right!!! I don't know much about the breed or chooks in general so any info is helpful.
