Hey! This is Nigella, rescued her from a pretty nasty farm a couple weeks ago (the pretense was that I'd help treat a wound on her leg, but I'm growing more and more reluctant to take her back...)
There's a lot of feral chickens where I live, but none that look like her. Obviously she's very small, long legs, small comb (as shown). And she lays eggs! Surprisingly big ones, and quite frequently (I've attached a size comparison).
I'm thinking a bantam of some kind (due to her size), but not really good with chicken breeds, so thought I'd check on here.

We'd need to see the chicken. The egg looks like a normal brown egg from a hen with some ink jet issues. That or the speckles are calcium deposits.
