Purchased at TS... my chicks are 10 weeks old. This is my first foray into the World of chickens, so...pardon my ignorance . I wanted 3/4 chickens, hedged my bets with 6 because it's my first time and all. Now I have 6 beautiful, healthy teenage chickens (2 Sapphire Gems, 2 RI Reds, 1 Red Sex Link, and...a black one) These chicks (Sapphire Gems)

were still in the back loading area, not in an identifying bin. This black chick looked like the other 2 Sapphire Gems at the time, but now...? She is not as sociable as the other breeds and always runs from me. Does anybody have a clue what she is? TIA!!!
 
If you can see what the skin color on the bottom of her feet is, that would help confirm the ID of Australorp.
I'll take a look tomorrow morning. If she's an Australorp, what color should the bottom of her feet be? One thing that is different about this girl, she likes to "sing". Since I'm a chicken first-timer, I'm enjoying learning about the different breeds and their traits.
Thank you to those that have responded.
