Can anyone help me identify this hen ?

[paulsarge]

Hi! First time chicken owner and I adopted three pullets in june (one just laid her first egg this week! .

Two I can identify ... barred rock and ameracauna .... but this one I was told was also an ameracauna but doenst seem to be so. She did look very similar to the other one when just a few weeks old but now has a rich burgundy/brown/red coloring with iridescent dark teal accent feathers along her back and sides.

Any guesses?

Agree on the speckled Sussex and the Easter egger, but that's not a barred Rock. I'm not sure what she is, though. Can we get a pic of just the black and white bird? Or did she happen to get spattered with white paint?
