Yeah, see, no muffs, no beard, no pea comb. The shape is much more square and robust. Australorps are a heavy breed and thickly feathered while Ameraucanas tend to be a bit lanky.

Plus that HUGE single combs and giant wagging wattles are a dead giveaway.
But there's also jersey giant roosters;

Frankly, you take an assortment of standard black roosters with single combs and throw them in front of me and I couldn't tell you which was which. Hence, tall dark and handsome is a common trait. :)

Well now I'm really curious too because he definitely looks like the top one or the one I posted.
Well I guess we will for sure find out when these bitty ones are bigger!
