I bought six 12 wk old pullets about two weeks ago. I'm not sure where the previous owner got them from, but I suspect it was from a hatchery because they had a few of several breeds and they were all supposed to be purebreds. Also, they only had pullets. They told me this hen was a certain breed, but her posture is throwing me off because it looks completely different than the other pullet I bought from them that is supposed to be the same breed. So before I tell y'all what I was told she was I want to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance. Here are some pictures I took today:



The black hen in the center of the pic is the one in question







 
Black Australorp or Black Jersey Giant. Check the footpad to be sure; Australorps have a pinkish-white footpad, while Jersey Giants have yellow.
 
So there is no way it could be a Sumatra? She has the pinkish-white footpad, and I thought she was a Black Australorp but she holds her tail low and just doesn't look a lot like my other Australorp. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment.
