Pullet or cockerel- 5.5 weeks old

[A Creekside Retreat]

Hi, we have two chicks I’m thinking might be cockerels, hoping for some more experienced feedback. One is a blue barred rock and the other is a black australorp. The blue barred rock was a little feisty at first but not as much now. Had the signature white for on its head and has the two toned coloring more so than the other two of the same breed we bought. The australorp doesn’t act like a rooster but the tail has me thinking...

thank you for your input and thoughts my chicken raising friends!

The Australorp really looks like a roo with those tail feathers. No expert by any means.

I’m super new at this but I would guess the rock is a pullet and I have no idea about you austrolorp

Thanks. It’s fun to guess and my thoughts are with you both so time will tell. Hopefully get a few more guesses and thoughts. Thanks again

I’d say the Barred Rock is a pullet. The Australorp’s comb and wattles seem pretty small, and I’ve had chicks with tails like that turn out to be pullets.
