Little black bantam

Anyone know what this is? I think it’s a hen because she doesn’t crow, but she doesn’t lay eggs either.

She is a beautiful hen. She looks like an Old English Game Black. Cackle Hatchery has them. Maybe she is eating her eggs. Look at her beak for yolk.

Where did you get her, and how long have you had her?

We got her at Tractor Supply last September.

hen, sometimes it takes a bit for them to start laying

Does she free range? It's possible she could have a hidden nest some place.

I think she is a Dutch bantam hen. Anyway she is a just a Beaty!

She does free range, so that’s possible. She very timid so maybe she does prefer laying somewhere else. We like her a lot, she just doesn’t look like any of our others so we didn’t know what she was. Definitely a pretty girl.

I think you are right! I looked up pictures and it looks just like her. Her wings hang down past her body like the Dutch bantams. Thanks!!

Earlobe color is wrong for a Dutch. More likely Old English Game.
