Hen or Roo and what age?

[NCchicken]

I have had this chicken since August and have yet to see an egg. I do believe she is a hen, just want to make sure. Also, I know the pictures are from far away but could you possibly judge age? I was told she is an EE. She definitly has the fluffs on her cheecks. Thoughts and opinions are much appreciated Sorry that the pictures aren't that great. "she" is a bit camera shy.

not sure of the breed but its a hen about a year old.

Oh good, I thought she was a hen too but wanted some other opinions. Thanks Heather!

I am almost sure

that she's a hen too. I have a roo that matches her! I hopw someone comes on with a breed name. Terri O

Are her legs green? If so then she is an EE. If she is solid black and has slate legs then it is possible that she is an Ameraucana. It's hard to tell in the pics but it looks like they are green.

Her legs are green, at least most of the leg, her feet are yellow but yes, they are green. Thanks for that info!

She's an Easter Egger.

Quite rare to find an EE with solid black coloring. . .

Ooh fun. I'm glad she is an ee!! Hmm now if only she will prove it and lay me an egg already!! Lol. Her coloring is very pretty. She is all black and in the sunlight the feathers look iridescent. I also noticed just today that her face and comb have become bright reddish pink. Is that a sign that she might lay soon?

I'm a relative newbie to chicken raisin' (just 2 years), but my green legged EE roo had his way with my barred rock hen, and the result was one EE with solid black coloring and one EE that is almost solid black, but has some silver highlights to her. Both of these gals lay the same light brown colored egg as their mother.


In a second hatching later, the two had a boy -- and he looks mostly like his barred rock mother.
