I posted not too long ago. Just coming back to see the consensus again haha. All pictured here are 9 weeks old. Even based on these pics alone, it’s definitely looking like a male, right?
(Also taking advice to keep chickens cool. We do ice trays with water &bricks for them to stand in, but they’re still sooooo hot.) :(

At 9 weeks old, that comb is looking like cockerel.
It is also much bigger than the other ones. Which I know is not necessarily an indicator, but it is very obvious that this one is different and more mature looking than the 7 others.
 
What breed is it??
Not sure lol. This was also a debate in my last post about this little guy. When we bought them as tiny tiny chicks, we were told they were Wyandottes. Obviously they are not. So we just assume Black Australorps because they are black with the green sheen to their feathers

Ohh!! I remember that post, I had suggested Australorp as well.

Yeah, at 9 weeks I would think cockerel.
