Australorp, right?

[TinyRaptorDodos]

Just to confirm my belief; this IS an australorp, right? She had the pink feet, black feathers and egg color but she looks so much different then my old australorp.

She was given to me as a black sex link but based off the lack of red I’m guessing they got her mislabeled. Her name is Mighty. Eggs are hers, I wiped off a little bloom to show the color without it.

I’m not sure. Some sex links can be pure black, and that doesn’t really appear like an australorp to me. I have a couple australorps, they don’t look like that, or lay that color egg

She could be a black sex link but just not have any gold.

My Australorp has slate colored legs not pink.

Yeah ausies do not have pink feet but rather grey.

I mean the bottom of the feet. That’s how you can tell australorp and jersey giants apart; the bottom of the feet for Aust is pink, bottom of Jerseys is yellow. The legs and top of the foot are black

Her legs are black. The bottom of her feet are pink, that’s how you can differentiate JG and Australorps

That's (possibly) misunderstanding about what a black sex link is and I would still guess black sexlink.. Though, I can still appreciate the line of thought!

White skin is dominant to yellow.. so that doesn't always indicate breed, though it can indicate what breed it's not.

Some of the black sex links known as dominant copper.. created by using BCM over cuckoo or barred birds.. will have the copper leakage. Those ones are even often mistaken for BCM. I'm sure there are many more though that could create the leakage that you're curious about.

The egg color without the bloom is not the color, imo.

Pretty girl and lovely eggs!

I had no idea dominant coppers weren’t a fancy word for BCMs! I got one(dominant copper) last year and she was completely black with thick leg feather up until she hit 6 months, then she started developing red around her eyes

I always thought BSLs were only barred rock crossed with RIR! That’s so cool thank you for that information.

I’m not sure what color her skin is under the feathers, but the bottom of the feet I know are pink. I’ll check under her wings for skin color right now(I need to put them to bed anyways)

She is so so pretty! Her breed isn’t too important I just like keeping charts of my chickens info since I sell BYM chicks. I love her eggs so much. She was given to me due to become aggressive from what we can only guess is trauma. After a year here she finally calmed down and stopped attacking me

 

[TinyRaptorDodos]

Her skin appears to be white. Her feet are pink they’re just muddy due to my chickens loving melt season- you can see the pink in the joints

She does look like a Australorp though
