Long story short.. first time chicken owners.. we got some laying hens from a family friend.. I'm trying to determine the breeds I forgot to ask about.

I have a black hen with a Jersey Giant body shape, black/gray legs, but no comb. I guess it would technically classify as a cushion comb. I guess she's an Australorp. But she's very large and I'm just curious to know what others think.

I have pictures on my BYC page (since I'm still a newbie and can't post pics here..)

Thanks, y'all!
 
Both Australops and Jersey giants have single combs. These look like they were dubbed, or possibly bad weather froze them off.
 
That's one funky looking comb! I'm not sure what she is, truthfully her head/face doesn't look like anything I know of............?
