maybe a silly question - racer?

[klf73]

I am rather new to chickens. We got mutt eggs and the roo was killed by the family dog. I asked about breed and the guy said "it's a something racer or something"-

I saw the hens and they were australorps here is a roo offspring. Is there any breed that is ever referred to as a "racer"?
Thanks

about 6 weeks old(blue/gray one) I did post before without the "racer" info so i wasn't sure if that mattered

WOW... looks like the Amazing Blue Black Racer!!!!! Wow!!!


Just joking... I don't have a clue what they are!!

HEE HEE, that's funny. Thought you were serious Mahonri and was initally very impressed....

sorry--I'm still learning, so I can't help ID the breed!

Beautiful birds, though...

leg color is same as body color, kind of slate on the gray/blues and black on the blacks

I was just curious if there is slang or anything that might be used on a breed that would have "racer" in it. The guy had NO idea what he was talking about, maybe he just pulled racer from where he sun don't shine.

I was told they dont' have an orp shape by some of the wonderful orp experts here, so I have no idea. Maybe roo was just a mutt that someone told this guy it had some cool name

just so he would take it
