They seem a mixed bag to me but they sure are beautiful!!! I'd say you have been most fortunate!

I feel very fortunate! He just gave them to me free of charge, and they are all quite lovely. He is also giving us his 6 nubian goats, electric fencing for them (portable), plus some materials to help us build a goat barn/shed for them. He is just thrilled to find a good home for his animals, and we are thrilled to take them. It's so good when things work out like that!

I am hoping the girls will settle in in the next couple of days and begin to lay some eggs.

Could she be a Black Minorca? This is from Murray McMurray's catalogue...

The Minorcas are the largest of the Mediterranean Class and the Blacks are perhaps the finest examples of their class. They lay large white eggs, are non-setters.

She looks almost like a Dominique to me. But I would think if she lays blue egg, she is Dominique x Easter Egger or Barred Rock x Easter Egger.

But, no matter, she is a pretty girl.
