Grey Australorp??? Eggs were labeled Black Australorp.

With those white legs, it's not a pure Australorp. Something else is in the mix. And, the down looks more yellow than white? Maybe it's my monitor. But, white on the head and breast isn't unusual for baby Australorps...below is a photo of my rooster when he was a chick: The pale legs you see in there are my Wyandotte mutts. The dark legs = the Australorps. This is what my roo looks like, today: The white one is one of the Wyandotte mutts...but, you can see that Dinner (the rooster) is totally black, now.
Yes the down is very yellow on top of it's head and fades a bit along the sides towards the neck. There is a bit of deep slate just at the top of the legs, probably just something else thrown in the mix then huh? From what I have been reading that is fairly common in hatcheries right? Also it's comb is non exhistant at this point and there is no black on it's beak at all.

Yeah sounds like a hatchery special.

That's what the Wyandotte mutts are in the photos above. I do love how the white one turned out - but, she's supposedly a "Silver Laced Wyandotte"....methinks something jumped a fence somewhere

There's blues, splash etc... lol


I was wondering if mine were just blues, after looking at pictures I don't think they are pure anything but they sure are sweet mutts. I hope they are at least hens! I should know more or less in about another 3 weeks correct? I live in a city so no roosters for me.:/

Given the tail on that little thing, I'd say you have a pullet. So, all should be good :) And, mutts can be pretty wonderful. My Hickory as a point in case. Could never, ever show her anywhere - but, she's pretty and sweet and makes me laugh...so, it's all good
