Sexing the Australorp. Mystery or Myth?

I know it's probably too early to tell, but at just under two weeks "she's" got quite the comb coming in :/ I'm probably jumping the gun, just wanna know how attached I can get. Shes my favorite

These are just a couple Australorp chicks. Four weeks old. I have three roos and two hens. Pretty sure.

Roosters?

Sadly I would have to agree. Unless you want roos, then

I’ll take them! I only need one but I can’t bear to not keep them. Guess I need a separate pen! Y’all are right about this chicken math you speak of...

I have two black australian astralorps. They are about 3 months old. One is more developed then other. My sister got them at feed store and gave to me at 1 week. Is the one a cockrel or is it too young to tell?

These two black australian australorps are almost 3 months old. Can you tell if one is cockerel? He is a little more developed then other.

"black australian australorps"?
If you live in the USA, I really doubt they are Aussie Australorps. The import of chickens from foreign countries is pretty difficult.

They can mature at different rates, the first two Australorps I got did. I don't think there is anything screaming "Rooster!" in those pictures. At 3 months a cockerel might start crowing, you can check for that.
