Breed?

[CKfarm22]

Hey y’all, i had posted a different thread asking what breed my chickens were. I got answers for my other ones but not my black chicken. One person said barred rock but I personally don’t think so. Her feathers are kind of iridescent in the sunlight. Can anyone help?

Personally I'm suspecting Olive Egger. If not, wonky Barred Rock

She does kind of look like this one but after looking it up, I’m kinda leaning towards a poorly bred barred rock. I guess i’ll have to wait and see what color eggs she produces

Olive Eggers aren't a breed so can vary immensely in appearance. Many times they have messy barring like yours

Should i keep an eye out for green eggs? blue eggs? Two of my other chickens are laying (i think) and she’s i think the last one to lay but i’m not certain.

I guess so, still not sure what breed but that’s alright

I knew it An Olive Egger is a catch-all phrase for a mixed breed designed to lay olive eggs. Some hatcheries come up with special names for them, but they're all mixes regardless. With her appearance I would guess part Cuckoo Marans and Legbar. Her eggs should stay similarly colored but with potential to fade as the laying season progresses

When i got her they said she was an easter egger but as she got older i knew she wasn’t. A poorly bred barred rock a lot of people said so i was crossing my fingers that she would lay some sort of colorful egg. I was waiting (patiently) for her to pop her first egg lol!

Looks like a poorly bred barred rock, or perhaps a barred rock mixed with a black breed
