What is this chicken?

[hballa]

The black breed chickens are impossible for me to figure out. I ordered a mix of dual purpose birds from a hatchery and received 2 like this. No clue what they are. 8 weeks old now & I'm guessing they might be roosters?
Black Giants? Australorps?

Definitely cockerels. They are probably either Jersey Giants or Australorps. The easiest way to tell the difference is to look at the bottoms of their feet. If they are white/ pinkish, they are australorps. If they are a bright yellow, they are JG.
