Australorp? Can any tell me what my hen is?

[Marina10114]

I got her as a gift they didn't ask what breed she is. Anyone know?

I think she's a mix, in your photo I can see some dark lacing, australorps are pure black with a green purple sheen. Perhaps mixed with Wyandotte or barnevelder.

Perhaps a jersey giant???

Hatchery quality Black Australorp

X2 on BantamFan4Life; she's very likely a hatchery quality Black Australorp. Check the bottoms of her feet. She's not a Black Jersey Giant unless the bottoms of her feet are an obvious yellow.

x 3 I think she is very pretty anyway and has pronounced rounded feathers.

Her feathers do have a green purple sheen and she is definitely completely black. Thank you everyone.

sheesh, why don't folks gift me with nice pretty shiny hens like that?

Agree she's an Aussie.
