What Am I

[PegDemetris]

Hello all - My husband purchased 2 chicks at a local feed store. He was told by the clerk they were Silky Bantams. They are anything but. They are now between 4 & 5 weeks old. He was also told they both would be hens. I'm still not sure. Honestly, I need help identifying them.

This is Muppet today.

This is what Muppet looked like March 12th.

This is Snuffy today

If anyone can help, we would truly appreciate it. I HOPE they are both hens.

They look like Australorps to me. What color are the bottoms of their feet?
It's a little too early to tell their genders.

That is what I was thinking. Here is a photo of the bottom of one's feet.

Is the foot as yellow as it looks in the pic? Or is it more white?

On one chick it's white. On the other, yellow, as shown.

Okay, well white is Australorp and yellow is Jersey Giant.

We are 99% sure we do have one of each. So far, they also both seem to be hens.
