Thanks for the tip on true Australorps having red ears Jay, the search continues!

Hi and welcome to BYC - thanks for joining us. I'm sure the experts will help out on the gender / breed thread, but it looks more like a mix pullet to me.

You may wish to consider joining your state thread as it will put you in touch with other BYC members in your area - http://www.backyardchickens.com/t/270925/find-your-states-thread#post_3239224

All the best

I've never seen a floppy comb like that on an Australorp - maybe it's a cross breed.

Sounds good! I'll post several photos on that thread. And look up some local folks.

Seems to be a black leghorn to me but with the black legs I'm not sure most pictures online show that their either yellow or white

Hope you can figure out what your guy is (but I agree, not a pure Australorp). The main thing is if he is well-behaved and takes care of the ladies.

Best of luck to you, thanks for joining us!

Welcome to BYC. Your 'Australorp' is either a Black Minorca or Black Leghorn pullet just about to lay.

doesn't there comb floop a little bit? I have 2 blacks and the one that's laying eggs is flipped over? She didn't start laying till it flipped.
