Mystery black hen, any guesses?

Just a guess...
Based on the muff/beard and the dark color I'd say EE...
possibly crossed from...
what looks like a gold laced something (maybe wyandotte?)
What color eggs does it lay?
If it lays olive or pinkish - it's probably just an EE.
If it lays brown, it's probably EE/GLW.
That's my guess.

Looking closer, I see green irridescence on the feathers... I change my guess to EE & BA mix. (Easter egger & Black australorpe)

Don't know what she is, but what a beauty!

I agree with Paganbird it is EE mixed with laced breed-weandote or other.

Thanks for your help, it was suppose to be a black australope. It has not started laying yet but the ears are white, I don't know if that helps you.

It looks like a pretty EE - pea comb, slate legs, muffs/beard.


All chickens with pure black feathers should have the green irridescent shine to them.

This is one of black sex-links:

My barnevelder - hard to see the shine because there's not that many black feathers, but it's there.
