Help...Is this an Black Australorp or an Marans hen?

[LittleRedCoop53]

She's about 6 or 7 months(Hasn't started laying)...she has a little lace on her neck grey/tan ...here's a picture of her . Thanks~

She looks like a mix. Usually Australorps are buff and have lots of feathers, while Marans have some brown on their head.

Thank you. That was fast. I was hoping some one would say 'she's a Marans' .

 

[OneCrazyCowgirl]

No problem.
She may be a Marans or at least part Marans. She has the shape of them. I just doubt she is an australorp.

Did you mean to say usually Australorps are black? I've never heard of a Buff Australorp LOL.

I would guess Black Sex Link, although usually the leakage is gold, rather than that gray/tan color.

I didn't literally mean buff. Just the look to them makes them a little fluffier.

Hello and welcome to BYC from Kentucky! She is very pretty but I'll go with her being mixed as well. You might want to post this question in the What Breed or Gender is This? https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this section. Here are two images of a few FBCM we have on our farm. They are not show quality by any means but something for comparison. Also. notice the feathering on the feet.
