I'm told she is a Marans, 2 years old, but I don't think so. (According to what I've seen on-line, she's not a match.) She was given to me yesterday, by one of my Husbands co-workers. She became very broody, and he could not break her of it. I don't know what color her eggs are.
(He also sent a SLW, so she'd have a familiar friend. They are in an in-closure, within sight of my 3 Orps, and will be combined in about a mo.)

She is black with green sheen, and the very tiniest bit of purple. Dark brown eyes, with a red tint. Black beak, and red ears. Yellow/black legs, with sparse black feathers. Feet are mostly yellow, with a little black, and black toenails. Feet have sparse black feathers, only over her outermost toe. She is bigger then the SLW. She's about the same size as my Orps, with a little longer tail and a less rounded back-end. Comb looks like Orps but, a little smaller. She is pretty docile.

Here are pics of Fred (Fredricka) and her legs. Thank you for your help.
 
Thank you both. Today she gave me an egg. Here is a pic. The darkest is her's, the lightest is from my SLW, and the one in the middle is from one of my B. Orps.
