Black Australorp or Black Jersey Giant?

[ObeyTheYeri]

I was wondering if my rooster was a Black Australorp or Black Jersey Giant. I really hope it's a Black Australorp because I have White Leghorns and I really would want to make some Austra Whites. Thanks in advance for your responses. Here are some pictures.

What color are the bottoms of his feet? If yellow, he is a Jersey Giant. If white, he is an Australorp.

I think that the bottoms of his feet are grey.

If the bottoms of his feet are gray rather than an obvious yellow, then he's a Black Australorp; not a Black Jersey Giant. Crossing him with your White Leghorns will indeed give you Austra Whites which are excellent layers of off-white or cream colored eggs.

I know this has NOTHING to do with this thread, but was the Poll at the top of this page made by the person who started the thread?

 

[ObeyTheYeri]

Yes and that person is me.

Sorry just figured it out. I posted one in Chicken Behaviors and Egg-laying section if you want to see.
