What Breed Am I?

[Meganita513]

I purchased 6 chicks at our local Rural King. We picked 2 White Leghorns, 2 Barred Rocks and 2 Black Australorps. So we thought……Am I now doubting that the Barred Rocks are actually Barred Rocks because the do not have any of the coloration I have seen in other pictures. When the chicks were purchased, RK was also selling Black Sex Links and Jersey Giants, so I am wondering if I have one of those? The chicks do not seem abnormally large, so maybe they are sex links. The chicks are 7-8 weeks old approx.
I am not posting the pics of the Leghorns because I know which ones those are. Any help would be appreciated!

Chicken #1


Chicken #2



Chicken #3 ( I think this one is a rooster?)

Chicken #3 Again


Chicken #4 ( I promise we are not squeezing her that hard, but it looks like we are!)

A happy Chicken Family!

My guess is that they are Jersey Giants. Black Sex-LInks almost always have some red lacing on their breast.

I just found this photo on another site……you might be right!!

If they have yellow bottom feet, then they are JG! If there pink on the bottom then most likely an Australorp!

I think you got the Giants, also. And the one does look like a little cockerel.

Giants mature slowly, so it's not unusual they're not bigger than the others right now. You'll really see the difference once they're 6+ months, though

Thanks everyone! We named #3 "Ninja" very early because he would randomly barrel towards the others ,standing in a group, feet first. It will be funny if all 4 of them are JG..seeing how both pairs were out of different bins labeled something totally different! But, hey- we love them anyway!

From the breeds you mentioned, I think they're Black Jersey Giants. And yes, #3 is a rooster.
