I think both are male.

BJG breed standard indicates yellow on bottom of feet. And Black Australorp has pinkish feet bottoms as @Frazzemrat1 mentioned.

Here is thread on feet color for BA and BJG:

Here are my BJG at around 4 months old (the two in the front). The female (on the right) has a black comb and wattles, while the male has red comb and wattles.

Out of 20 straight run 10 are for sure cockerel so far
both cockerels.


Btw, the first pic... the feet look pinkish on the bottom. Are they, or is it just the lighting? Pinkish would indicate that he's an Austrolorp, yellow is a BJG.

Im gonna have to go look at them in a little while. I'll let you know what I find. Thanks :) I have 2 austrolorps I got last year, love them.
