Okay. Very helpful. Thank you.Australorps are known for their dark eyes which both of these lack. Even hatchery birds have this trait. Combined with the potentially white earlobes and different body type, I do not believe these birds are AustralorpsAlso, hatchery type RIR are much lighter in build. Broilers are equally common and have coloration and build on par with these birds
The OP also describes these birds as "enormous" thus confirming my suspicions of them being broilers.
