So I have 2 hens, both are from hatchery stock not sure where but I believe Muarry McMurray. They were my father in laws but now mine. I believed they were both Australorps but in looking at how they're shaped, leg colors and size I'm not sure anymore. They are both 5 years old and still laying consistently. It's not really important what breed they are I'm just curious. Here is NoTail (named by my kids during her molt when she literally had no tail feathers)

Then here is Blackie

Hi, BJG and Australorps have different colored skin/legs. BJG are yellow based, so if you look at the bottoms of the feet they will be yellow, similar to the rooster that is standing next to them in the photo. If they are Australorps, which I suspect they are, their skin is white, so the bottoms of the feet will be white/pink in color.
