They each weigh in at about ten to eleven pounds.(unlike some chicken breeders I am not exaggerating, weighed on a scale.) They lay big brown eggs. I have more pics if needed........
 
If the bottom of feet are Yellow then it is a Jersey Giant.

Take what I have to contribute with a grain of salt....but wouldn't eleven pounds be a gigantic australorp? I would think it was a JG on that basis alone. But again, I'm new here. Literally.

true that is why i added that tid-bit......But ,as is the case with all my chickens, they are rescues and the man with these three sisters said Aussie....I consider myself pretty knowledgeable on chicken breeds and genetics but I always second guessmyself with BYC....This way I can better conclude the breed itself......

BA - my lt brahmas are BIG and my BA is bigger. Check the bottom of the feet - yellow it's a JG, cream it's a BA. Looks just like mine.
 
Yellow feet bottoms and yellow skin usually mean JG, Australorps supposed to have pink bottoms and white skin.
