    Black Australorp: pleeeeease tell me she is a pullet ❤️

    Meet Violet! She is 7 weeks old today is the sweetest thing ever!

    Is this an Australorpe?

    I bought her today from the feed store, but upon closer look she really doesn’t look like an australorpe bitty. She’s nearly all-black aside from a pale spot of fluff on her butt. Is she likely another kind of breed?
