Both are five months old. No crowing or eggs. Thanks!





This last photo shows another Australorp. The face is red but the rest of the body is same as the other.
 
I know nothing about Easter Eggers, so I'll pass judgement, but the Australorps look like girls to me. I see no hackle or saddle feathers and the combs are comparable to my australorp hens. The one that is getting red in the face will start laying soon.

The EE also looks like a girl to me, but as I said, I'm no expert.

I thought they may be girls but all of a sudden the one Australorp and EE started picking on the other Australorp and downright being mean. They have all been raised together (along with a laying Barred Rock) and had an established pecking order. I am new to the raising of chickens so I wasn't sure if they were Roo's.
 
They look like pullets to me also, just getting ready to start laying. It's not uncommon for the pecking order to shift around a bit as they get older and start hitting puberty, it is more noticeable in the boys, but the girls will rearrange their little cliques also.
