Can you tell me what breed this black pullet is?

[blackwingedwolf]

I have gotten another chicken to replace the chick that turned out to be a cockerel and I want to know what breed she is. At first I thought she was a Cemani, but her skin isn't black. She has SUPER soft black feathers that you can see a whole rainbow in a single feather. She has black feet and beak, black comb that has tan-ish tips, and dark gold eyes. She's a bit scrawny, but that could've been because of the living conditions she was in at the feed store. Maybe a young Jersey Giant? An Australorp? Any suggestions about what she is is much appreciated.

Looks like an australorp.

Probably Australorp. I have both Australorps and Jerseys. If you had something to compare it to for age/size, that would help, b/c Jerseys get big in a HURRY. Jerseys have less iridescent feathers than Australorps, too (that beautiful rainbow effect). Therefore, I vote Australorp.

This is the best picture I have with a comparison. I think she's about three to five weeks younger than my white leghorn, Orchid (which happens to be the Queen of the Coop), so you can see that she's a bit smaller. Is this picture any help?

I was looking at black Jersey Giant pullets pictures and I found this one below on http://www.purelypoultry.com/started-black-jersey-giants-p-1096.html as a started chicken. It kinda looks like her.

Check the bottoms of her feet. If they are white, she is a Black Australorp. If they are yellow, she is a Black Jersey Giant.

This is the best way to tell these easily-mixed-up chickens apart.

I looked at her feet this morning and I couldn't tell which it was. I see white, tan, yellow, and mostly grey. Here's a picture. I feel color-blind .-.

That qualifies as white (as opposed to yellow which is really obvious). She is a Black Australorp.
