Blue Australorp or Blue Star?

[JoyMcW]

Hi all! I just picked up these two cuties. One is a blue australorp and one a blue star. I’m unable to tell the difference. I got them from Ideal Poultry. Online their site says their blue stars are from blue andalusians and barred rocks. Can anyone help me please? Thanks so much!

The Blue Star will have the more pronounced comb. I'll try to find my photo. So, I think it is your darker one.

Just seeing your post now. Black Australorp chicks tend to have the look of fancy eyeliner around the eyes, so I think the Blue Australorp in the bottom one. Also, I ordered Blue Star chicks from them back in January, and they looked like your top chick. Sadly, they all died in transit from a longer than normal delivery and the cold temps.

My blue Australorp roos as chicks and a few weeks out. For reference.

The "tiara" is a trait of the Barred Rock so the bottom pics must be the Blue Star.

Also Australorps are usually white breasted as hatchlings not yellowish so the top pic have got to be Australorp.
