Three little birds ... (which is which?)

[AppleMomma65]

I ordered an Olive Egger ("Picholine"). a Jersey Giant ("Black Betty"), and a Barred Rock ("Oreo"). In looking at their chick pictures online, they look very similar. To tell the harder to identify breeds apart, the hatchery I ordered from puts a purple band on the Olive Egger. However, the chick I thought was an Olive Egger did not have a band on it. The chick I thought was the Jersey Giant had the purple band on it - so I think the hatchery put the band on the wrong chick. The Barred Rock is growing feathers that are black and white so I'm pretty sure I've got the correct ID on that one. Can anyone help solve my mystery, or is it too early to tell? Pic #1 is what I think is the Olive Egger (no band). Pic #2 is what I think is the Jersey Giant (has purple band), Pic #3 is what I think is the Barred Rock. Thank you!

#1 - Olive Egger?

#2 - Jersey Giant?

#3 - Barred Rock?

What color are the BJG's soles? Yellow? The barred rock is correct. I don't know about the other ones. Can you post pics of the BJG's comb? They are supposed to have a straight comb.

#1 is the JG, #2 is the Olive Egger, and #3 is the BR.

They are only a week old so no combs yet. The one I think is the BJG has black legs with lighter colored soles (not yellow but sort of light brown). The one I think is the olive egger has both black and light brown feet with light soles.

Olive Egger Feet?

Jersey Giant Feet?

Jersey Giant Soles?

#1 is the JG, #2 is the Olive Egger, and #3 is the BR.

I can't find any pictures online of an all black OE so that's why I thought 1 & 2 they were swappped ...

you can tell at hatch what the comb is unless its like a cushion, I can tell if its rose be. or single as soon as their hatched so the have very small combs but the are distinguishable. straight one of their head should give people a clue

 

[Painted Calls]

If you look at the legs of the banded chick, they are slightly feathered. JG's have clean legs. That's what I was going by.

your olive egger has feathered feet

You can see feathering on the OE's legs. They banded the correct bird.
