What breed is my hen?

What color eggs does she lay?

The darkest ones are hers

Mixed breed. Looks like she has a pea comb so not a Marans. Also most black chickens feathers have a blue/green sheen in the light.

Hers doesn't, but I have 2 black chickens that I bought from the same person, and they are a green tint when the sun hits them, I planned on posting those as well but I couldn't get a good picture, you know what kind those may be?

Not sure on spelling, but I think it's Australorp. Australorps are the Australian take on the Orpington breed. They are calm and friendly, and excellent layers of light brown eggs. The Australorp's exceptionally soft, shiny black plumage has hints of green and purple in the sunlight.

Comb is wrong for an Australorp. This hen has a pea comb.
