Black Giant Bantam?

[Chris09]

Well I will say that there not Jersey Giants.
Jersey Giants should have Yellow on the bottom of there feet..
So I would say that there either a cross, and not true not Jersey Giants.
I will also know that Cackles Jersey Giants DO have Yellow on the bottom of there feet, I had 10 of Cackles Jersey Giants and all 10 Yellow on the bottom of there feet... I will say they aren't as big as a good exhibition Jersey Giants hens are around 8 lbs and around the size of my exhibition R.I. Reds.

Australorp should have Pink-ish color on the bottom of there feet.
Wyandottes should have White color on the bottom of there feet.

well we got them when they were one to two days old on may 2 and we saw the parents of them they were huge. I can definately say there feet are by no means yellow. I have no clue what breed they are there probably ameracauna mix.

Duster Black jersey giants do not have grey with spots on the bottom of there feet. The legs should be a dark willow almost blackish color and the bottoms of their feet are yellow. I dont know what you have maybe a black australope mix or something like that but I dont think they are giants.

I wish I new what kind they were for sure. I know my buff orpingtons I got from the lady are pure bred they are beautiful but I am positive the black giants are not black giants at all. Thank you all for the help. If I hadn't posted this I would have never known to look for yellow on the bottoms of their feet for black giants.

If you are new to chickens then you might want to take a look at the link I posted. It has some useful information in it on Comb types, body parts and some terms..
