I’m new to this, Is this an Australorp Rooster?

poor you.

No worries. I'm now trying Phoenix and I think my very first hatch is 23 out of 23 pullets.

 

[The Moonshiner]

Ooh. I get it. I was asking for the tail so that I could see if it was a hen or a roo, as I find that a reliable method for all my birds exept the silkies.

I used this method on my Araucana as well. I have since got out of that breed though because seems I never hatched anything but males.

Age? Appears to be one. Can we see a pic of the feet/legs?

 

[Painted Calls]

And a full body pic. tail included

Tail isn't going to tell us anything at this age.

Wow how lucky! Not everyone gets kangaroos when they buy chicks!

Is it really lucky? You know how big of a brooder you need for those?
D@mn things will hop out of anything without a secure lid.
Then they want to play hide and seek on you with the pullets.
You'll do a head count and notice someone is missing. Then after tearing the brooder apart searching one will pull her out of their pouch.
Makes you want to wring their necks.

I'll behave. It is very likely a cockerel (not a roo) and also very likely an Australorp.

 

[Painted Calls]

They're not asking about age!

I know... I never said they were.

Lol stop it.

Extremly lucky! Once I got twelve unsexed chicks and 7 of them were roos...
