Australorp or Andalusian?

[denimeggs]

She came in my McMurrays rainbow mix and is the same size and conformation as my Splash pullet which I believe to be an Andalusian. (They follow blue genetics.) She has some white primaries which you can only see when her wing is stretched out. She's about 9-10 weeks in the pics. The third pic is the Splash counterpart I compare her to.

I don't know but she looks like my Australorps and my Splash Andalusian was yellow as a chick.

I say Australorp...

I also say BA. They can have some white primaries until they get older. Enjoy her, she will lay nice light brown/off white eggs for you. My BA's lay daily and kept up good production through their first winter(they are just 1 yr old). The egg colors range from almost pinkish to a nice golden brown.

I'm sorry, on that last post is BA for Black Andalusian, or Black Australorp?

Her earlobes look like they maybe be turning white. That's going to be your determining factor. Andalusian will be white, BA will be red. I'm guessing andalusian.

I got 3 black minorcas and 1 BA in my last rainbow layer order, and the australorp had a very different body style by that age. She was obviously different.

Australorp

The white primaries will go away.

Looks alot like our Australorps - BTW are absolutely the most friendly birds I have had!

Are Autralorps very small as chicks as compared to other breeds and then they catch up? I have this 8 week old I named chicken little because she WAS a 3rd of the size of my others.
