what is she

[hdowden]

i dont think she is a sumatra at all she is a lot bigger than they are...

shes the biggest black one in the coner

 

[TinyTotsSeramas]

Australorp maybe

 

[Olive Hill]

Yep, looks like a BA.

 

[hdowden]

but wouldnt her feet be pink on the bottom? i know the pic is blurry but they are yellow...i was thinking jg it came as an extra from cackle hatchery

 

[Olive Hill]

Not necessarily. That is not always an accurate predictor in hatchery stock birds. JG are much larger than BAs. Unless the scale in the picture is very deceiving or she is much younger than she looks her size very much indicates BA.

Her feet are pink. Jerseys are YELLOW yellow and you'll even see some yellow in the webbing an up the shanks. I'll try to get a pic of my JG's feet tomorrow. but her feet are definately pink!

^ this also! Hatchery stock tends to be poor and very seldom (like 1 and what seems like a million) do you get a nice bird.

shes around 4-5 months old. the other black one there beside here is a black sumatra...do jg and ba have a green sheen to the feathers?
