Name for unknown breed of chicken! Very much open to suggestions!

[aroostercalledBrownie]

Okay, so this girl needs a breed and a name! Given to me by a friend, about 5 months old.

Don't know breed but you could call her Ellie - short for elegant.

 

[Self sufficient chickens]

She is a Black Star (barred rock x Rhode island red or New Hampshire)

She is a pretty hen, we have 9 of them.

black sex link, I can't name things worth beans

 

[Self sufficient chickens]

Black Sex Link and Black Star mean the same thing. They are just different trade names. Crossing a solid rooster with a barred hen yields chicks that are sexable at hatch (hence black sex link). This causes the males to have a white spot on their head and they can be separated from the females. They lay brown eggs almost every day and are very friendly. As with any hybrid, problems relating to egg production can arise when they get older.
Edited for incorrect information

She should start to lay eggs very soon!!

 

[Frazzemrat1]

Black sex link, which is a cross, not a breed. She'll lay well, when she starts.

Black sexlink. For a name, I say Hazel.
