Hilda and Morticia were both taken from the Black Jersey Giant cage at my local farm store but I have noticed a considerable size difference between the two and they also have slightly different combs. Hilda has more points than Morticia does and she is considerably taller and weighs a lot more than Morticia.
I have been trying to identify the breeds by the color of the feet but Morticia seems to have greyish undersides and not the pinkish color I thought Australorps had. Hilda is broody with an adopted chick of her own and she is virtually impossible to get to move so I can’t check her feet but I am pretty sure she is a BJG just from the sheer size of her. She is a Giant and towers over the rest of the flock where as Morticia is pretty much the same size as my Buckeye.
