I rescued this hen a year or so ago, and I've never been sure on her breed. Any ideas?
Her right foot is deformed. When she was young, whoever owned her put a band on her leg, and never took it off. So her leg grew over the band. The band is lodged in the center of her leg. She does alright though, considering. She's even figured out how to roost on wide perches.




 
I don't know what she is except adorable. Looks like a black chicken that has been playing in a pile of ashes. :)
 
I looked up some pictures of the breeds ya'll mentioned, and the Blue Sumatra hits the mark perfectly! Thanks for the suggestions everybody!! :D
 
it looks exactly like some of my hatchery blue sumatra's i have 130% sure its a sumatra
 
Definitely not a blue Andalusian or Maran. I think hdowden is right. :)
