What breed and gender is this?

[BentleyTucker]

I saw this one at a farm show recently and it was a Black Star. It had such shiny feathers they were like a blue. Mine looks just like your and that is what I thought it was.

She is a Sumatra.

Both a Orpington and Australorp have a Red face not Black.

 

[Lothiriel]

I have a Black Australorp pullet with a black face. I believe it's called gypsy face when a normally red faced bird has a black face.

ETA: I've changed my mind and agree with Sumatra as well. I didn't look at the picture very well when I first posted (way overtired) and now that I've seen it again the tail and body shape say Sumatra.

I'm thinking that she's a sumatra. Very pretty pullet!

 

[PekinBantam]

Pullet, but I'm no breed expert so I'm gonna go with allaboutyoupetsitting, sumatra.

 

[Chickengirl47]

I hope she's a Sumatra!

Can't tell for sure from the picture but she appears to have a single comb which would rule out her being a Sumatra. Also her type does not say Sumatra to me. I'd assume her to be a cross of some sort. There are no Bantam Australorps that I know of & the type is certaily wrong for that or Orpington.

my parents had a single combed sumatra from a hatchery so that does not rule out sumatra and she looks just like their hatchery sumatra's
