Mystery Chick from Murray McMurray

[maddiecakes]

This is my mystery chick from Murray McMurray. Can anyone identify what breed it is?

Just guessing but maybe Austrolorp, Black sex link, or Easter Egger I had a black mystery bird and turned out to be a Frizzle EE I ordered.

Maybe a New Jersey Giant?

In this case, the ones I ordered are all White Leghorns except the mystery chick. I suspect it is an Australorp more than likely but wanted other people’s opinions too.

If it’s male, and I am correct, I can breed Austra-Whites with these.

That’s definitely a possibility too. How would I be able to tell if it’s a Jersey Giant or if it’s another solid black colored breed?

I suspect it’s an Australorp because that is a popular breed and I’m sure Murray McMurray know that.

Adult feathering will tell you in most cases if chick pics are not conclusive.

Looks like an Australorp to me. I've had FBCM, Midnight Majesty Marans, Australorp, and many EE type birds. I think Jersey Giant would be bigger, or will get bigger than the other chicks as it grows. If it's a black sex-link, adult feathering is often the best way to tell.
