Jersey Giant or Black Australorps

[snowhorse]

I got them from the local grain mill and I was told that they were Jersey Giants but I have seen some pics of the Black Australorps and they seem very similar.

My Black Jersey Giant and my Black Australorp have always looked very similar. The main difference at glance is the feet. The BJG has bright yellow on the bottom of her feet. Her skin is also yellowish. My australorp has pale pinkish on the bottom of the feet. Both have black legs and tops of feet.

Note: my Jersey Giant is a real sweetie.
