Pretty sure rooster but need confirmation 🐓

Hey everyone! I'm a first time poster but long time lurker! So many helpful threads on here I could read for days! But this is my second year with my backyard flock! I added 6 to my flock to make a solid 10 and I think an extra straight run Australorp I added to my Amercana(actually think they were easter eggers) pullets from Tractor supply makes me pretty sure he is a boy but you guys tell me! Thanks for all the help!

Also they are about 8 weeks

He's definitely a cockerel!

Male.

One of the reasons I like my Australorps is that they're easy to sex with the boys' combs popping up early.

Thanks! Confirmed my thoughts! He seems to be really sweet so far, he'll roost up and watch the girls while they scratch even lets me pick him up with very little push back. My first rooster

In my experience the Australorp roos tend to be laid back. They get big!
