Can you tell who my roosters mom is?

Hey guys,
A couple months ago I used an incubator to hatch some chicks, and a broody hen raised them. She did awesome! She's an Austrolorp named Annie. Only one of the chicks I hatched was black, and he turned out to be male. He's absolutley gorgeous. Now that hes older I'm wondering if Annie is his mother or if my jersey giant, Sienna, is. Any good way to tell?

Btw the father is a RIR

I added some pictures from a while ago, and some pictures from yesterday. Let me know what you think of him! (P.s, hes only about 4-5 months old and hes crowing/mating and almost as big as my 1 1/2 year old roo)

I can't honestly help you but you might try looking at the bottoms of his feet. Black jersey giant and austrolorp have different color pads. That may not work because the yellow inherited from the RIR. I'm not sure what genes would be dominate but there are some knowledgeable people here on byc.
Good luck. I hope you can figure it out.

Jersey Giant was the mom.
Chick has yellow shanks, yellow skin is recessive. He got one gene from mom and one gene from dad.
