I've had this hen for a few years now, and I've always thought that she was a black star, but her tail is very different from any black star I've ever seen! What do you guys think? It would be great to finally know what she is!
Age: About 1 or 2 years in the first two photos, and around 4 years in the last photo.
Comb: Single
Leg color: slate, with perhaps a very slight greenish tinge.
Size: She weighs about 3 or 4 pounds, and is smaller than all of my other chickens (she's like a bantam next to my BO's!).
Egg color: Cream.
Notice the bright-red lacing all down her front (she's also got some at the base of her neck on her back)
Here's a better view of her comb.
Here's the position of her tail. She sure likes to hold it up high!
Thanks!
