So in January this year I posted about the chicks I had purchased, one of which I purchased as a "Marans or Marans X".
Well she is all grown up and laying now, and is certainly not a Marans. While I feel a bit salty about paying extra for a more expensive breed and not getting what I paid for, I am mostly really curious about what breed she is. Especially since one of my other hens is broody and around 6 of the eggs under her are from this mystery hen.
I personally am leaning towards Australorp, due to appearance and local availability, but the comb and coppery colour on her cheeks are throwing me off. What does everyone think? She lays a pale creamy pinkish/brownish tinted egg, and lays almost every day.
