What Am I?

That's all that matters, then! I'd say Australorp also, but the white egg says she's a mix of some sort. She's obviously a good hen, so keep up the lovin'!

I have a black orpington that looks like her, but her eggs are a nice brown.

Also, my black orpington lays a very large egg and she is larger than my buff orpingtons. Of course the buff came from a hatchery and the black came from a breeder. All around a nicer looking bird.
Oh, my black orp. has slate colored legs and feet.

Definitely not a pure Australorp - has the wrong face. After staring at an aussie's face for 5 years, you know it by heart!

I agree, she is some sort of mix - Aussie mix probably, with the description of huge eggs.

I think you have a Black Minorca (not show quality)-- scroll down on this page: http://www.kerrcenter.com/stewardship/chicken-breeds.html

Our Minorca has white earlobes. She doesn't have as heavy a bottom as this girl looks to have. I agree with some sort of mix.

That would explain the little streaks on her chest. I think that's what she is. Her eggs usually fall out of an egg turner so the huge egg makes me think mutt though.
