Australorp or something else?

No that does not look like an Australorp to me.

You may want to call them and ask them who supplies their chicks.

Are you seeing something unusual about them, they look normal to me, especially the darker one looks just like mine. The first chick shows a lot more white on the face than mine, but will probably turn dark. Mine lost the white feather tips as they matured.

Botttom bird is my girl at that age about, see the white on her face? She also had white on wing tips.

All grown up. and as chicks they have white bellies.

I'm thinking it is an aussie mix of some sort

Might just be a little different. The odd white feather under the wing it typical for a juvenile australorp and she'll lose that as she grows.

Agree

I got two Austrolorp chicks this year and both had white on their faces like yours for a while. This is them at about six week. They are completely black now (15 weeks).

That is odd about the face but, I think it might go black as it matures. What color are the bottoms of their feet (Australorps)?

My Australorps didn't have the white face or any white feathers.
They could be Australorps I guess...just not ones I am used to.

Funny you should ask about the bottoms of their feet, the bottoms were pink and on one of them the pink extended up the back at the 'heel' so I used that as a clue to tell them apart when they were young. However - as they matured the pink changed to black and they both looked the same.

Just curious if you ended up with 2 pullets? Or is the one on the right a cockerel?
