The wattles made me think cockerel. The comb (where I could see it) makes me think pullet.
Can you post better pics in a few weeks?

Yes I'm going to take new photos sometime next weekRight now I'm thinking Australorp pullet. But, I think you should post some more pics in a few weeks to be sure.
Yes, thanks!Pretty bird either way
Welcome to BYC !!
The chicken is around 3 months old. I got it when it was about one week old in October. I think it's either a black astralorp or black orprington. I'm not sure tho. Here are some pictures of it. Also, it was both black and white when it was a chick but when it grew older, the white dissapeared.
Yea, I see your astralorps do have more redness in their combs and wattles. Mine is just light pink. I don't know why.I don't know about it being an Australorp. Even my Australorp ladies have had a LOT more red going on in the comb and wattles at 3 months.
They're blues, not black, but I don't think that matters in this regard.
Pictures from when they were 3 months (absolutely pullets, one current laying, one currently squatting):

Australorps have fairly good-sized, single combs. I can't tell what the comb in your picture is from that angle.
