Australorp? or Not?

[lucky cluck 6]

Ok, my Aunt (whom I received my eggs from) has an Australorp Rooster, and a Rooster that looks like my cockerel Chester. And she had about 5 Australorp Hens, along with mabye 3 Wyandottes, I KNOW she has at least 1 barred rock, but you get the Idea, I'm curious, Is this hen a Australorp (or at least half Australorp?)
(black hen NOT the brown one, she's maple, I'm talking about shadow, my black hen.)

I think it is at least half Australorp.

It looks like a full Black Australorp to me. The general build of the body appears to be correct as well as the earlobe and leg color. Check the bottoms of the feet. If they are white, then you have a Black Australorp. If not, then it is not a full Australorp (it could still be part Australorp).

Does she have a green sheen to her feathers when she is out in the sun?

Your hen Maple(?) is absolutely gorgeous!!

She looks like a black australorp but she could be a black maran

I believe that she is an Australorp.

Hello and welcome to BYC!

She does look like an Aussie, but check the feathers for that green sheen. Jersey Giants can also have green sheen to the feathers. Look at the bottom of the feet. If they are white, you have an Australorp. If they are yellow, you have a Jersey Giant.

Congratulations! You have a genuine Black Australorp!
