Does anybody know what breed this hen is?

Black sex link

She's not a black sex link, she's got a pea comb. She's some sort of colored egger, probably a Prairie Bluebell.

We were told she was a praire bluebell when we got her a year ago but we were not sure. We are not sure what color egg she lays or even if she does lay.

Yep, that's likely what she is then. Prairie bluebells usually lay blue eggs, but there's a chance of them laying brown as well, so if you're getting all brown eggs she could still be laying.

Oh ok. We did put her and another hen in a separate pen for 1 week to see who is laying and nothing from either hen. So I'm not sure.
Thank you!
