Looks like a rooster. Could you post a picture of a side view?

Thats a rooster and if your talking about the hen sitting to his left as looking the same, um, I don’t see the red wattles or comb at all like him. And the fact that he is standing while his hens are sitting. See how he is reacting to your camera in a defense stance while the others know he has their backs? Lol

No no I know the one to his right is a hen but of a different type .. the other australorp was not on the fence at the same time. I got 30 new chickens this year and it is my first time ever having a rooster . I have a total of 50 chickens and within that was supposed to only be one rooster , a Brahma.. but the two australorps were from what was supposed to be pullets from tractor supply . Ooops! Ty everyone !
