Well, the black Australorp pullet I got in November lays small white eggs, has white earlobes (with a tinge of green), yellow soles, and is still maybe 3/4 of the size of my 2 English Orps. Any ideas as to what she really is?

No, not much of anything different care wise.Thanks for the fast replies. Is there anything radically different in the care of Minorcas from that of the Orps?
Agreed. I can't think of any that offer them. Not to mention legs are way too dark.Black Leghorns are pretty rare or at least most hatcheries don’t carry them so she’s more likely to be an Andalusian or Minorca. Not that Leghorn is impossible but just doesn’t seem as likely.
Could be: Black andalusian (although I doubt it), Black Minorca, or black leghorn, I know a lot of people are suggesting Minorca, but I breed leghorns and I'm pretty sure she is a black leghorn. Example of black leghorns:Thank you everyone. I've got some research to do!
I'd say less than 3 lbs, but I'm not sure.Maybe a Minorca?
How heavy is she?
