Sold as a black leghorn, but clearly isn’t!

This pullet (named Craig) was bought at TSC as a black leghorn. She’s about 15-17 weeks old. Single comb, very small, black legs with 4 toes, feathered legs and partially feathered feet. Relatively lean build. Any ideas? Pretty timid so hard to get pics of. Thanks!

Perhaps a Langshan? They are leggy like your girl is.

Might it be a Midnight Majesty Maran?

That is what I am thinking as well.

I keep forgetting about those. A definite possibility.

I think she may be a Marans. You’ll know once she lays an egg. If it’s dark chocolate she’s a Marans

I also think Hoover's midnight marans.

Also what’s going on with that poor naked hen in the pics? Is she supposed to look like that or is she going through a bad molt? Poor girl.

I agree!
