Can anyone identify this breed

[Tethlos]

Can anyone tell me what breed of chicken this is? I know it's a hen. She showed up one day and hasn't left. We had a rooster at first that got to her and she ended up laying 17 eggs! 15 of them hatched but we lost 3 during the night one night. Anyway, just curious what breed she is if anyone can help. Thanks!

PS...we named her Gypsy since she isn't really ours. She sleeps in a tree above our coop and won't allow us to get very close to her at all.

Possibly a mix or a black australorp

She looks nothing like the 2 white and 2 black australorp hens that we have though. She is much more slender with a longer neck. We have 12 of her babies here that I'm wondering if they would be good to raise for meat chickens. I think 5 or 6 of the group are roosters that we will have to get rid of at some point.

Could possible be an australorp x bantam mix if she's smaller than your other birds?

Or Jersey giant, if she's bigger.

She's about the same size as the australorp hens, just more slender. I think she strayed from another house close by but was on her own for a while first. I'll have to see if I can find out where she came from and see if they know I guess.

Maybe a Black Sumatra

Do you have a full shot of her? I know you said she's flighty. The behavior makes me think she may be some type of Game or Game mix. That would fit with being more slender than your Australorps too.

Yes! That's it!! Thank you!
