26 Australop chicks arrived, and doing well, but is the bottom photo a Rooster?

[capthollis]

Hey Friends,the top photo are what all of the chicks look like. The one at the bottom is a tad bigger, and very different looking than all the rest, could it be a little rooster or a different breed?its wing tips are straight, and these are Mcmurray chicks. Thanks for looking

 

[chicklover23]

it sort of looks like it might be a different breed

 

[capthollis]

Yah to me it does too, but i dont know much about chickens. These chicks are a blast, and all are doing well so far. Weve lost 1, but thats to be expected.

Yeah, don't have my chicks yet but that one def looks like a diff breed. Sorry bout your loss. Hope you don't lose any more. Good Luck!

Its definately a different breed, but still a bit too young to positively tell gender.

 

[capthollis]

Ok, Thanks ... Anyone got some good guesses on what kind of breed that is ? I know it's bigger than the rest, and definitely the dominant over the Australop chicks.

I don't know the breed but neither of the 2 above look like australorps to me.Did you get them from a hatchery?

 

[capthollis]

Yes Satay, I ordered australorp chicks from Mcmurray. I'm leaning toward the bottom chick being an Americana from all the chick I'd sites I've been too??

 

[satay]

Oh ok. I breed Aussies over here and my chicks look nothing like that. They have way more white on them at that age. Maybe the U.S ones are slightly different.

My black australorps didnt look like either. The black one is similar
