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.

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.
