Don't know what one of my hens is.

What color feet does your hen have? Are the earlobes actually white or more pink? If you could possibly get a picture straight on from the side and zoomed in it would make identification a little easier.

I am wondering about the depth of color in the eggs. Are they light brown?
The black standard old english lays as light brown. I know that most pics do not show white earlobes. That is likely because in order to show them they are cut off. Yes it is disqualifying not to.

I have those two plus a sliver laced Wyandotte. I get light brown/cream, medium brown, and medium brown with dark spots. I'll try to get a closer picture.

Her's are black. They are almost a pearlescent color. I'll try to get a closer picture of her earlopes.

She does have a BA look but with that skinny tail and partial white lobes... good bet she's a Leghorn/BA cross. (In other words, a hatchery BA - lol!) OP, are her eggs a light brown or a dark brown?

Not sure, I've got three brown egg layers. I get three different colored brown eggs. One light brown/cream, one medium brown, and one medium brown with dark brown spots. My other brown layer is a sliver laced Wyandotte.

One of these is her as a chick.

It does appear that she may be a mix that includes a BA. That first chick certainly looks like a BA. The second pic is your silver laced wyandotte.

I agree she is pretty reguardless whatever she is.

now looking at the baby pics, the markings were so different than my black australorps.. interesting/pretty colours..
