I could use help identifying this boy's breed.

I got 3 roosters from a friend who got them free from a farm. I've narrowed it down and I'm stuck between Jersey Giant or Black Australorp. This guy is big. I've looked up everything I can but his personality and size screams Jersey Giant to me and a friend because he looks bigger than all the other roosters I have but his feet are not yellow looking to me. The other two I got I believe are buff orpington and rhode island red? I believe their just under or around a year old.

He's pretty chill and less dominant compared to the other 3 roosters (The two he came with and my EE boy)

It's confusing. He's a pretty gentle and I'm considering letting his stay with the breeding flock instead of the rooster flock come spring.

I have a Black Jersey Giant I'll get some pictures of him tomorrow for comparison. He's the biggest boy in my yard, but the size difference didn't really start to show until he reached about 6 months and started to fill out.

He's also my calmest male, never starts a fight, but doesn't back down if confronted by the other two males.
