Black Australorp?

Umm, this bird is all black.

Are the white feathers just immature or do you think it is actually mottling?

And, is the second photo what you call slate? It looks like something else to me.

The yellow legged black I'm not sure of, but the second one may be a Jersey Giant. Are its soles white or yellow?

I thought it looked like there were some white or greyish feathers in there

Our BA looked just like yours when she was young. She had some white on her baby feathers that she lost when she got older. Now she's a magnificent bird with black feathers with a green sheen! Now if she would just start laying! She's 28 1/2 weeks old and just starting squatting a week ago.
