What are these guys?

[Smartie_Pants]

I bought them from Rural King who bought them from a hatchery. They came in a Heavy Breed Assortment that also included Barred Rocks, Naked Necks, Buff Cochins.
I thought maybe they were Australorpes of Jersey Giants, but when I asked before no one knew.

I'd guess you'd be right in your assumption of Black Australorps or Black Giants.

Yep, I agree. You won't be able to tell which they are though, if they are one of those two breeds, until they're mature. If they grow to a giant size, they're giants.

Breeder quality giants and australorps are distinguishable by foot color. On the bottoms of their feet, australorps have whitish feet, and giants have yellow. But it doesn't always hold true with hatchery birds.

They look just like my Australorpes. Pretty babies!

I think they are Australorps. They have bits of dark on their legs and the overall coloring is just like my 'lorps when they were young chicks.

Don't quite look like giants at that age, Australorps

I have no clue what breed they are- but boy are they CUTE! Congrats on the new additions
