What kind of chicken is this?

Little Veronica was my "spare" chick from Mypetchicken. At first I thought she was another Barred Rock, since as a chick she looked just like the other Barred Rock. Now that they are older though, its clear that they are different birds. Anyone have a guess? Here's a photo of her at 2 days old:

and at 2.5 weeks (on the top):

It looks like a Black Australorp, possibly a Jersey Giant, but I'm leaning toward the first one.

looks just like a jersey giant that the person who i went in on an order with got. it was from mypetchicken too. i will post some pics of the jersey giant

Look at the soles of its feet. I believe Jersey Giants have yellow soles and Australorps have white. Wait, maybe I"m thinking of the black Orps that have white soles. Nope, they both have white sole, the Aussies and the Orps, while black Giant's are yellow.

Ooh thanks! I wasn't even considering a Jersey Giant. I'll go home and check her feet tonight.

Thanks!

Man I just realized...I was already concerned about whether my coop and run was going to fit four hens...and now one of them might be a GIANT?

I'm doomed.
