Black Australorp or Barred Rock

[HenHaven]

This is a feedstore chick. I've never had a BA, and this one has a couple of white wing bars and a yellow head spot like a BR. It looked like a BA in the store, but now I'm wondering.

Speckledhen, our resident BR expert, isn't sure either! Those of you who have raised BA's--what do you think?

I read the thread below that said that hatchery BAs can have white on them until they lose the juvenile feathers...

Looking at the feet I'd say Barred Rock.

I believe it's a Barred Rock pal.

yup looks like a barred rock to me my ba has gray feet

If it's a BR, I bet it's a roo then, too! Phooey! I love BRs, but I have two and was looking to get a new breed. What would BA feet look like?

....heading off to Feathersite!

My BAs have very dark legs and feet.
