Bought a $3 pullet today.. I was told she is about 8 months old, not sure of the breed. She does have a big comb, but i'm hoping she is a "she". lol I've seen other hens with combs her size. My Minorca's comb is bigger than hers, so.. Hoping. lol
Ok, but my question is... Is she a Black Langshan? I've thought of everything else.. Black Australorp, Black Orpington....but she has feathered feet! So, I thought of a Black Cochin....but she's not fluffy enough. Then, I was about to settle on thinking she may be a Australorp X Cochin, when I found the Black Langshan! Some of these birds looks just like her, to me anyway! And some, not so much.
Whatever she is, i'm happy with her. Very pretty, and a sweet bird! Of course, I may find out different when I put her with the others. The lady that had her said she was the dominant bird in her flock. lol Anyway, she's black, with VERY shiny green, and a little purple, when the light hits her. Black/gray legs and beak. Feathers on her legs. Fluffy butt. lol
What breed does she look to you all?
