It's a pullet, not an australorp however. This bird has a crest, australorp do not

How interesting - thank you so much!! I brought home three other chicks that same day. I know I can cancel out Welsummer for obvious reasons. Would you think olive egger or lavender Orpington? Or a mystery breed haha!

Pullet for sure, and a pretty one, too. Here's my blue Australorp girl, all grown up.

I see feathered feet, she might have marans in her. I'd say it's possible she's an OE, we will know for sure once she stars laying

She's a pretty OE/EE pullet!

You all are the best - thank you! A bit thrown for a loop as I think I have all my (hopefully) girls’ breeds mixed up now. Is the lighter one likely lavender Orpington and darker one blue australorp? Hopefully both pullets
