Ozzie the Aussie roo? and another little guy I don't know breed....

[gocrow77]

Here are some pics of my Australorp "pullet" that I am suspicious of. Comb is looking pretty pink/red. Lemme know your thoughts.... he/she has some big ol man legs IMO

and this little banty guy I still have posted on before but thoughts on his breed were inconclusive. Most either thought he was a black tailed buff Jap or an OEGB He has feathered up some and I am curious to see if anyone can tell his breed for sure now that he has more feathers in.

Anyone care to post a guess on these two?

Australorps are hard to figure if it's just one.. do you have any hatchmates to compare to? I am actually guessing pullet.. (very iffy pullet)

That lil banty is not easy for me.. I'm drawing a blank..

Yes, I am kicking myself for getting just the one Aussie pullet, and I am now on chick restriction per my hubby so there's no running down and grabbing another. Most of the other laying breeds I have 2 or more of - thank goodness - it does really help to have another of the same breed to compare. I have had this one for several weeks and she/he was pretty well feathered when I got it....dunno if having a educated guess as to age helps or not.... On the other guy - I was told it was a Pheonix by the sales lady at Orschelins, and the other time I posted on his breed was told OEGB or black tailed buff Jap. Everyone has a different opinion on him.

i say both roos. but i dont know the breed for the little guy.

The little banty guy was in the assorted bantam brooder - so who know what he is. Guess I could look up bantam breeds on google and see what pops up.....I'm just dying to figure him out, he's the only chick I have that I can't figure out or don't already know the breed. I love seeing what they will look like as adults!

He is most definately not a black-tailed buff jap. He looks to be a BBR OEGB.
