Hi there!
Got this pullet as a day old chick in March from the Ace Hardware. She was sold as a "blue rock". I thought she'd end up looking something like a Sapphire Gem, but as you can see she's jet black and seems to me more like a Minorca or Andalusian? She has light (white?) earlobes and has laid several tiny very pale eggs. She also has a heckuva comb & wattles.
She has a curious & playful personality, but doesn't like to be petted. She will happily use me as a roost though every time I bend over and she loves to follow me around & pull at my clothes.
Anyone else out there have a Blue Rock that looks like her or do y'all agree that she might be something else?

She's new, give her time!

Yes that's exactly what she looked like as a chick!
Here she is the day I got her with 2 buff orpingtons.

I’m personally leaning towards Minorca with her, but for sure she is not a Australorp. Australorps have red earlobes, she has white.
