What breed is this?

[Shipgirl]

I’m getting some hatching eggs from someone and they have black Australorps. They are supposed to be pure- not mixed. The girl sent me a pic of the rooster and it looks like he has a different type of comb? Beautiful guy!

Can anyone tell me if this is just something that happens because of the Orpington lines, or if he looks mixed? I thought that Australorps only have single combs? And what type of comb does he have?

That's not a pure Black Astralorp rooster....

@Overo Mare help please.

He is a Wyandotte mix. The hen directly behind him is an Easter Egger. The other hen doesn't even have dark shanks. These are all mixes and I don't even see a single definite Australorp. I would definitely go to a different seller

The seller is my uncles-wife via her daughter. I don’t think she knows. I think she just got them and someone told them they were Australorps.

I thought about tagging you but I knew someone would.
