Breed?

[featheredplanets]

Bought at auction. She’s black with a green sheen. Brown eyes. Bantam. Slate legs, pink feet? Also, what do you think to age? I would guess 5/6 months? She’s a stocky/chunky bird, I bought her for my MGB pullet and she dwarfs her.

Can grab some more pics if needed.

Thanks!

I think it is a Black Australorp.

Agreed looks like an Australorp, she is beautiful as well...

I believe they do.

Thank you. I’ll have to do some reading up on the breed. I have more pics I just took. Also, how old do you’s reckon she is? I think she must be 5-6 months old.

Edit: You’re both right, they do come in bantam!

Definitely looks like an Australorp, but I did not know they came in bantam. Wonderful breed!
