I have 3 of these black chickens (I think they are australorps...but they could be Jersey Giants...their feathers have a slight blue/green sheen in the sun). They are about 5-6 weeks old. I'm fairly positive two of them are roosters, I'm just not sure about this 3rd one. Its comb is pretty...
Here's a picture of the group. In this picture you can really see how the chick up front has feet that are much more orange than the rest. The other 3 smaller ones still seem to have feet that are slightly more orange than the known Australorp (the biggest girl in the picture). I have no idea...
(Above) this is a 3 week Australorp we bought separately. Her feet really are pinkish-white
(Above) #1 chick: This gal has the most orange feet of the bunch. I guess that would make her a giant?
(Above) #2 This one has pinkish orange feet. They aren't nearly as orange as the #1 chick...
Thanks guys...you've been really helpful. We're new to chickens but so far really love them. I do hope they are Australorps because that is what I originally wanted and we wouldn't have to wait so long for them to produce eggs! Is there any way to tell the males from females at this point...
