Breed?

She’s extremely sweet. Her dad is a buff Orpington. I’m not sure of the mom.

No clue on breed (I’m still in the “brooder”, lol) but just wanted to say she’s a beautiful bird!

What breeds are you hens? That will help narrow it down.

Maybe Black Australorp? Do you have one of those hens?

Yes and she is my only fully black chicken

There is no "breed" here as she is mixed hybrid.

You know half of the father BO...but my guess is your mother hen would be mixed and as I understand it would have to be split to black (black is dominant)...so the mother was a black mix in order to have that much Buff bleed through otherwise the chick would be solid black if mother was an Australorp with *some* possible Buff bleed through.

Do you have somebody Columbian? It reminds me of the Columbian pattern with a Buff body base.

That is not the case with self buff (more commonly referred to as buff). First generation buff x black crosses usually do produce chicks with excessive buff leakage. Look up “buff Orpington black australorp cross” and you’ll see what I mean.

What female hens were possibilities for the moms?
