She looks like a dove, what is she?

Is this actually a chicken? I’ve typed all her features in to Google, maybe she’s some mix, got her as a baby from a neighbor who hatched a bunch of random eggs. Blue earlobes, gray shanks? Her comb looks really basic but I honestly know nothing about chickens.

Black Dutch bantam or a Dutch bantam mix.

My Dutch Bantams are small. They should be just under/right around 1lb

Edited to add: @RoostersAreAwesome is very knowledgeable and no doubt that you can take what they say to heart.

Dude thank you, I’ll start looking in that direction!

and roosters are awesome. I was soooooooo sad when we got rid of our three. They were so gorgeous and had the best, biggest, funniest personalities

I need to add, she is really small. She was always smaller than the others hatched at the same time.

Hi me again! Can she be a pheasant? One of my boys is convinced. Unlikely her eggs would end up in a bunch of chicken eggs but I guess you never know

No lol! She is definitely a chicken.

Dutch Bantams are one of my favorite breeds! I absolutely adore my Dutch girls so very much. They're the most affectionate birds, even after being raised by a broody hen. I wish you the best with this beauty.
Edited to add: one of my Dutch bantam hens is with me in me profile picture. She loves to sit on my shoulder or chest and does so every night before bed.

Thank you guys! We have been trying to figure her out for weeks now.

I have 2 black Dutch sisters. They are a broody couple with 3 chicks (Bantam RIR) at the moment. Black & Pearl are not 100% standard. They weigh a little too much / are a little too bold. But they are stil tiny chickens.
P.s. About half the size of most bantams.

Gorgeous. They definitely look like my little girl. She is the most affectionate of them. My other three are Cochins. One dark gray, one brown, and one black frizzle one. I think they’re about 17 weeks old.
