I can't remember if she hatched on the farm or she was rehomed here but she's older, I don't know age but if I had to guess around 5 years old though she could be older. She lays cream colors eggs, a nice light brown egg and they're fairly large. She's all black with red highlights in her breast area and has a red comb and face. Her shanks are a mottled color.

I'm not super bent on knowing her breed, but since I'm using her for my breeding program I'm curious to know just to know. If anyone knows I'd be grateful to hear your guesses or observations!

She’s a mix of some sort- I agree with above, probably a BSL of some sort.

Thank you! If she was born on the farm she's part Easter Egger but there's a good chance we got her as a rehome from someone who would've gotten her from a store (TSC, Rural King, etc) which adds to the BSL reasoning I think.
