Australorp hen?

[jenndera]

Is this an australorp hen? I got her when she was 12 weeks old. She is 17 weeks old now. The lady didn't know the breed, just that she was part of a meyer hatchery special. She wasn't looking like one until recently. She has 1 white feather under each wing though.

She's probably an Australorp, And yes, she's a "she".

What color are the bottoms of her feet? If they're white, she's a Black Australorp or Black Orpington (probably Australorp, since they're more common). If the foot pads are yellow, she's a Black Jersey Giant.

Oh I didn't know that! I will have to check in the morning. It's dark here on the east coast and the girls went to bed. She sleeps in the far corner and i don't feel like climbing in the coop with a flashlight to check lol. Thank you for the info!

I know, very poor quality, but that's all I could find in my photos. It's dark out now so I will have to get a better one tomorrow. Does this look yellow?

No, the yellow in the bottoms of Black Jersey Giants feet is very obvious. You have a Black Australorp pullet. You should get lots of eggs from her. )

Oh goody!!! Thank you! I was getting sad that she was turning out to be a jersey giant hahaha.
