Hi! I’m Mish and I’ve had my chickens for around 3 months now. This is my first time taking care of chickens and I love them to death already! I have 3 chickens. One of them is an Australorp. The other one (my handsome rooster) is said to be an Australorp too but his color throws me off a bit. My third chicken is an unknown breed.

Tips are highly appreciated since I am not extremely knowledgable about chickens yet!

Attached is a photo of my flock! Hopefully someone can help me with identifying my rooster’s breed.

Have a great day!

Welcome to BYC! I like your picture. I'm afraid the only one I recognize is the black australorp hen, as one of my pullets is an australorp and looks just like her.
But then I'm new at this myself. If nobody here finds an answer, there's a forum section on identifying gender and breed.
