What breed are these packing peanut?

We got our order of chicks in today and Ideal sent 13 packing peanuts. At first I thought Barred Rocks but they have no big white spots on there heads. Here is a picture. And let me know what you all think. Thanks!!

Looks like Black Australorp.

Very funny. You really made me laugh.

Now any guesses on the breed?

Yep, my guess is Australorp. I've heard they are wonderful chickens, but I don't have any...yet...

When I got a bunch of Barred Rock peanuts, I took them to the feed store and they gave them away. I made sure to tell them they were boys, so nobody was surprised about a yard full of roosters.
