Pullet/cockeral? Breed??

[MelissaMallard]

This chicken came from a local breeder. I was picking up an olive egger and she made me take the other pullet as well because it's better to introduce 2, and she was overwhelmed by numbers. She'd taken the leg bands off and thus in it's adolescence, wasn't sure what it was, probably a black orp.
Fast forward and the "pullet" is probably 5 or 6 months. But the tail is looking a bit different to me... Mostly I'd say she looks like a hen, "she's" twice the size of my adult australorp. I know the breeder has Lang Shan (spectacular lang Shan), black orps, and Jersey Giants.
Does she look like a she? Any guesses on breed/mix? And she has odd wart things on the comb. *Grump*

To me she could be a jerseygiantxlangshan but the iridescent feathering says she is at lest some part astrolorp so mabey not the fist cross I mentioned I do know that in breeds like light sussex and jersey goats the hens seem to have a bit of a curved tail like a young rooster I can't think of anything else at the moment but if I do I will post another reply

Thanks! I've been cursed with roos this year. The other shiny black one in the pictures is the olive egger I got to replace a legbar that turned out (despite auto sexing) to be male. I'm still just hoping she's a she for sure. Her brother (which I rehomed) looked much more roo than this one, but he didn't have a pea comb.

I think it is a nice black hen, not sure of breed, but very pretty. And FYI, any black chicken will have irridescent feathering...

Out if those I would guess Jersey Giant. Look at the bottom of her feet and see if they're yellow.

I'm just excited to hear hen. I was mostly curious what would cause her to be so enormous. I've been calling her Big Bertha.

 

[MelissaMallard]

No yellow. I checked a few days ago.

 

[KikiLeigh02]

Well not Langshan they have feathered legs. What color were the bottoms?

 

[MelissaMallard]

Chalky gray

If the bottoms of her feet aren't yellow, I'd be more inclined to think Orp....although the feet bottoms on this breed are usually pink. Either way, very pretty girl.
