these are 3 of the chicks i bought at the feed store, they were all mixed together in 1 bin. I know one is a barred rock and the other two are either Australorp or Jersey giant, but i can't figure out which
 
The Jersey Giant should have yellow on the bottom of the feet.









Hope this helps.
 
The chicks should have yellow on the bottom of the feet. The beak color varies among young individuals, but will turn black as they age.
 
Looks like I have australorps :) I went back to the feed store to compare feet color on the chicks they still have and the Jersey's feet are a lot more yellow than the australorps. Much easier to tell the difference when you can look at both side by side. I brought another Australorp home to double check and they are the same. So now I have 2 adult dark brahmas, and 5 chicks, a RIR, a BR and 3 australorps.
 
Australorp. They have the yellow on the bottom of the feet and they have that little bit of white on the tip of one of their feathers. They are a great bird. Calm. I envy you the raising of them. Beautiful chicks!
