I hatched a few different breeds and I am finding these lavender austrolorps so tricky! They are 3 weeks old and I can only really tell one of them apart from the others. I did finally manage to tell them apart enough to get a pick of each one today and not double up the same one twice lol!

Notes that aren’t visible in the pictures: 3 and 4 have noticeably thicker legs than the other two. 4 is the one I initially thought was a pullet, standing lower than the others. Calm. But now has the biggest comb out of the group and has fairly thick legs. The other three have similar combs and have a touch of yellow fluff around the neck, 4 is darker and solid grey.

I know they are still young and it’s early to tell, but I know with some breeds there are tricks to watch for and I’m not familiar at all with this breed. What do you guys think?

Just as an educational guess, I'm gonna say 2, & 4 are cockerels.
