What breed is this rooster?

[Leafchick]

I bought this guy from a poultry auction as a chick. He has two sisters who are much smaller and look like little, black footballs.

He’s about 4 months old. I’m fairly sure he’s an Australorp, but he has a few copper/brown feathers on his collar.

Thank you for your help!

this might be a bit of a stretch but he looks like a black Orpington ishhhhhh?

Could be Lorps or jersey giant, depending on the soles of his feet.

If he has some golden feathers, he is NOT a pure bred Australorp or JG or Black Orp.
Goodness people.
I’d say he’s a mutt.

Thanks everyone! I should also have mentioned that he’s from NSW in Australia.

So Jersey Giant is probably unlikely.

Given the popularity of Australorps around here I feel it’s a pretty safe bet.

But Austras don’t ever have golden feathers.
He’s probably an Australorp cross.

Oops, jinx!
He’s pretty, that’s for sure.

Jersey giant of bottom of feet are yellow. Astorlorp if bottom of feet are grey. Trust me.
