New member! Need help with Australorps

[Angrn]

Hi everyone!
I have been raising chickens for only 4 yrs now..started with Silkies, then barnyard mixes, then Buff Orpington, and have added some EE’s. Just acquired 5 young Blue Australorps ( well one splash)…I am having a hard time figuring out if I have any hens in the mix…lol. They are 12 weeks old and all have significant combs and wattles…I see some differences in tail feathers. Wondering if any expert Australorp people can help me out!

Welcome to the forum!
I dont see anything that screams cockerel, at 12 weeks the combs will start getting redder and larger as rhey are getting closer to laying eggs.
