Is Rose actually a roo?

[fallenmaplefarms]

Hello! Chicks were Eight weeks old on Tuesday. I heard something that sounded an awful lot like a crow a few days in a row coming from my crew of “ladies”. I think one of my Australorpes may be a rooster. Pics are attached. Any help please? Sorry…the little bugger wouldn’t sit still so these are the best shots I could get (and I had a few others pecking at my legs interrupting my photo shoot).

I don’t have experience with austrolorps but that comb looks awfully red for that age group. I’d say probably a cockerel. @3KillerBs might know

Thar combs pretty big for 8 weeks, I'd say cock

I think your Rose is actually a thorn.

At that age with wattles that size and the comb and wattles that red color you have a boy.

I think your Rose is actually a thorn.
