What breed is this? Maybe Jersey Giant?

So i bought these two chicks out of an unmarked bin at the feed store. Over the last couple weeks I've been able to identify the red one, and i thought the black one until it literally doubled the other ones size in two weeks. These were the same age and size when i got them. Any ideas on the breed?

Thank you in advance!!!

I would think it could be a black giant. They do have the dark skin on their legs, the large size, and the black and white down-feathers.
I have a black giant, but I can't tell it apart from my white giant chick yet. Funny, they will grow up to be opposite colors but right now I can't tell them apart.

Good luck with your chicks!

Thank you! It's just her rapid growth that surprised me. She's morecloser to the size of my turkeys than the other chickens her age.

My Jersey Giants name is Mrs. Potter. It just seems to fit the breed somehow.
