I've figured out all my chickens except this one.
maybe a minorca?

It looks like minorcas have grayer legs and much bigger ear lobes. How big is it and how old?

ETA Is that a same age Ancona behind it (for size reference)?

yes, the ancona behind it is approximately the same age. late feb 2016 hatch. the eggs aren't paper-white, either. ancona egg on the left, unknown chicken's egg on right. i was looking through breed pics and the andalusian comb looks the same as this one's.

edit: i think that's it! Black Andalusian.

i got them all from a feed store. she told me what they all were, but i didn't know anything about chickens and the names all whirled around in my head until they became gibberish. lol. now, a year on, they all seem obvious. point being, i don't recall her mentioning any crosses. there are two sicilian buttercups, a la fleche, an ancona, and ameraucana and a buff orpington. and this one. lol. it doesn't really matter except that it'll drive me a bit bonkers if i don't know.
:D and i do recall her saying something about a leghorn... idk. for the longest time i thought the ancona was the leghorn.
