I was told australorp but…?

[hm_hall86]

I have a young flock of barred rocks and black australorps. At least that’s what they’re supposed to be . They’re almost 4 weeks and getting lots of feather but one of the australorps is getting brown feathers on her chest and neck. Is this common or is she possibly a different breed that snuck in?

These awkward looking, preteen babies are hysterical

Likely black sexlink.

Yeah, australorps aren't supposed to have color bleeding in. Black copper marans (if no feathered feet, then not French BCM), black sex-link, or a sneaky happened and an unknown breed got to the australorp mama.
