Any ideas about this hen

She is shiny black with copper coloring around the neck and blue/green throughout the rest of her. She has yellow legs and lays a brown egg.

My money's on Black Star too.

Probably a black sex-link or black star. They're a laying hybrid that can be sexed at hatch by color.

I think some kind of black sex link too. Funny, sometimes those sex links are the smart ones and seem to be the ones who break up fights.

Thanks everyone, so is a Black Star normally a Rhode Island cross, is that why I was told that she was a RIR?

Besides being the smart and bossy one she is also very talkative. Always chattering away.....does your black star chatter ? Wondering if they are known for being noisy.
