Chicken rookie...help identify my breeds?

[JodyJo]

Oh! If you get a breed ID on this black one - I suspect that's the type of the feral chicken who left her brood in our back yard! I'd love to find out what that is, everything looks like a young version of her. She vanished and now I've got seven chicks to raise - they're probably 6 or 7 weeks old right now.



Cheers!

Not Australorps...not with green legs, and her coloring is not solid black...



here is my Australorp...green legs, or are they black? If Black, could be one...but the neck feathers are the wrong color...anyone else?

They have black/blueish perhaps greenish in certain light color on legs. The real indicator is they have white skin so soles of feet are white/pinkish if Australorp or Orpington.

Could the black be a Black Orpington? They are black, but in the light get a greenish, iridescent look to their feathers- very pretty!
