Questions about this breed

[Dace]

I ordered 3 black australorpes. Two of the three look identical (the Twins), except that one has yellow feet. The third, Lurch is a fair bit larger that the twins and had very little in the way of comb and wattle. They are all 21 weeks.
Can anyone help me identify? Just curious.

To show size difference:

Not me. They look alright from where I sit. But nice pics, anyway.

They tell me that the ones without the yellow feet are Black Australopes. I forget what they say the other is. But they are different I guess. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

I think the yellow feet are Jersey Giants, but my Twin girls are identical and only one has the yellow feet. Maybe they are a cross, but I am mostly curious about the larger black one who does not look at all like the Twins.

Im going to say that the bird in first picture is a Black Jersey Giant. (Yellow under the feet)
The bird in the second and third picture is a Black Australorp. ( Pink under the feet)
(If any of the birds had white under the feet then they could be a Black Orpington)

The one with the yellow feet is a Black Jersey Giant. The other two look like Australorps though. I can't tell as far as gender.


Oh and your Easter Egger(Ameraucana) looks just like mine!

So the one with the smallest comb 7 wattle/least amount of red on her face could be a Black Orp? (3rd, 6th & 7th pic down) Her feet are more white than pinky, but she does not really have that round Orp look she is kinda tall and dorky....we call her Lurch (poor thing!)

Or the 2nd, 3rd, 5, &5th photos are both Australorpes? They don't look much alike in the faces or in stature.

Sorry, I just find it a bit confusing the way two are identical and the third looks different.

That's what the other breed is called. Jersey Giant!

This is my BA Big Bertha. Pink on bottom of feet.

This is what I found:

Australorps are often confused with Jersey Giants, and you can tell the difference by their legs. Jersey Giants’ legs are black, the bottoms of their feet being yellow. Australorps’ legs are black, the bottoms being pinkish-white.

We have one that is huge!!!!! my mother in law rec'd him and was told he is an Australorp...can anyone tell from there COMBS on how many points they have????

Well, well. I didn't know that. The A-Lorp is one of my favorite birds, and they were the first chickens that I owned.
I would never have imagined t look at the bottoms of their feet, though (which goes for most any chicken I encounter

)
