She looks like a Black Sex Link to me. Very pretty!

We need a better pic, can't really see the bird here.

That said, sex links can have different amounts of color, depending on the roo used to make the cross. I've seen them with just a touch of color at the throat all the way through the front half of the body being mostly goldish.

Well, the kittens aren't so cute anymore and the easter egger cockerels are in the freezer. Plus, I think offering them as "prizes" scared folks off! So, I'm still posting quotes, if you know it let me know. I'm very enamored of this new one, it may hang around for a while!
