How old?

[Simpleman1]

Can anyone tell around how old this chicken is by looking at the comb and wattles? and also the breed?

Looks like she is a Black Australorp.

As for age

Any guesses based on experiences on raising chickens?

Once chickens fully mature it’s almost impossible to tell age.

Feet/legs are the only easy way to get an idea of the age of a full grown chicken. Smoother legs mean younger. If she is the same age as the rooster to her left, I'd say she's pretty young. If not, she's probably 1 to 2 years old, as a best guess.

She has a really big comb for an Australorp and her earlobes look like they could be white. If so, she's probably a black Andalusian.

Thanks for the info.The rooster to her left is 6 months old. She was bought much later with already a big comb. She is very slow and clumsy(I can catch her easily) and has short legs.So austrolorps don't have white earlobes?

BA's don't have white earlobes. Are they actually white or are they faded /dry looking?

Can you explain a little more about her being very slow and clumsy? Does she lay eggs?
I would check her over for anything that doesn't seem right - her crop, parasites, swelling of the abdomen, etc. See that she is drinking and eating.

Her ear lobes are red in colour.By clumsy i meant she has a round stout body and is very slow in running. May that is a sign of a old hen.She doesn't have any illness now. But when i bought her she had mild fowl pox.Now around 2 weeks after recovering. Egg production is very low now(Don't know if it's because of the disease). Eggs were bigger than a pullet egg but a little smaller than the store bought commericial eggs.Everything else is fine and she eats quite heavily.
