whats the chicken breed?

[jtodek]

i got a straight run pullet chicken at tractor supply in April and it turns out its a roo! I cant remember the breed but want to re-home the two males. any idea what kind they are?

 

[Hobbits Mommie]

My best guess is that it's a mixed breed. Is the black one in the foreground an Astralorp?

i think shes a jersey giant. did some research and think the roos are black sex links but not 100% sure. tractor supply has a list of breeds which helps and i remember one of these two breeds having a cross with road island red in the description which narrowed it down

I’m really not sure.

But I don’t think they are black sex links as males will be barred.

Agreed. Black sex link males are barred, the females are black with red on the heads and down the breast.
These guys look like mixes.

I have 2 very similar mutts from TSC (where I will never again get chicks if I am particular about wanting a breed). No one can tell for sure what they are either. They were "labeled" BSL Well partly they probably are...the female is...I presume. But here are my beautiful mutt roos. Lol

It's hard to see her comb in this pic but if you're trying to check Jersey giant vs Australorp, look at her foot pads. If they're yellow she's a bjg, if they're pinkish white she's a BA
