I think black Australorp too- they are very good layers -unless they are cockerels

This site is incredible! So much helpful information and a great group of people to answer all the newbies questions. I started out with two chickens and a duck. A year later I have 15 chickens and my Muscovy duck. I love spending time just watching their antics. I have a Blue Barnevelder, Beilefielder, Lavender Orp, white Silkie pair, Blue Copper Maran, 2 Cream Legbars, a Calico Cochin, 2 California Whites, 2 Favorille Cream Legbars and 2 not sure of.

I'm guilty of buying pullet chicks from TSC for a very broody hen. I've been told they aren't Asian Blacks as purchased and that's okay but I also believe I've got a roo. When would I expect a crow and anyone else say Black Orpington? Bottom of feet are flesh colored. Approximately 12 weeks old. The last picture shows the 2 "unknown" breeds are side by side. I'm hopeful at least one is a pullet. TIA View attachment 1595699 View attachment 1595701 View attachment 1595703

Welcome to BYC! It’s great to have you here!

When will it crow? Likely never, it appears to be a pullet.

How old is he?
This is my black Australorp cockerel, Oliver.
He’s 19 weeks old. He’s been crowing for at least 6 weeks now.

About 12 weeks old. Maybe 13. The comb and wattle size hasn't changed in weeks. I think they are black australorps after seeing your picture.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
You have pullets.
Now, others have said how black Australorps are great layers unless they are cockerels. Not true! Cockerels are also great layers... you just don't get any eggs from them!
