Black Australorp Chicks?

[jmtcmkb]

Well from the pic they look the same... I only have 1 Australorp she didnt have much white on her face, but had a lot on her chest, which has now filled in all black. The only white on her now is the tip of her wing feathers and its pretty much hidden. Her tail is also very long.

What are the differences you see in the two besides the size?

Here is a better pic of the 2 chicks!

The littler chick is up front so it looks bigger, they just don't sit still!

But as for the question about differences one is much larger more feathered out and has more black on the legs as the other chick, also getting a comb the other is not, only in the pics do they have the yellow tint to their skin and baby fluff! The comb on the larger one isn't pink or red.

I got mine from my pet chicken too and one is bigger then the other and has a bigger comb. It was meant to be a girl.

Well unfortunately I will never find out if they were Truly Australorp babies as Mareks took them and 5 others at 8 wks of age! thanks for all the replies, I will look back on this in the future if I order any more from My Pet Chicken!

Hi Jaycie,

Welcome to BYC. Come over and visit the Arizona Chicken thread. You may find someone there that has Australorps. Great Info and wonderful people to talk to.
