Black Australorp?

[teanelly]

I have 2, what I was told are, Black Australorp. This one has a very light beak, however. Is this normal for this breed? Is this a Black Australorp? She's 4 weeks old.

The leg color and beak color are incorrect for an Australorp, but that can change. Other possibilities could be Black Orpington or Black Jersey Giant.

This is mine around the same age

They're pretty small, so I'm assuming that means they aren't Jersey Giants... My other I've has darker legs and a darker beak. I actually thought they may be bantoms.. Oy vey..

Judging by the size, it isn't a bantam. The legs look like they're getting grey, but where did you get them? It's possible they're a hatchery-quality.

We got them from a small local ma and pop feed store. They get their chicks from Meyer Hatchery In Ohio

Could be hatchery-quality then. Just wait and see, tell me how it turns out!

Sorry to hop on but I also bought black australorps from a local feed store that buys from Meyer and you have me wondering about mine as well. Can I ask the name of the store?

Grace Brothers in Cleveland Ohio its a great store! I technically dont really care what breed it is or if it's breed perfect. I was just curious. She looks like lots of pictures I've seen of young Black Australorps so we'll see.
