What breed is she?

[Chickychickyxx]

Hi, I have a black hen, just started to lay 2 weeks ago. But comparing to other younger hens (not laid yet) and older laying hens (1-2 yo), she is much shorter, (all of the other hens have the same height). When they stand together, I feel like the black is only half their size...They keep pecking her... Could you help me identify her breed? Thank you.

Black australorp!

I think that's a black australorp.

Why are her ears white? Also she's very very short... I thought she's Australorp too but... I'm still confused

No. White earlobes. Black Andulusian or Black Minorca. Maybe Black Leghorn.

I also think so. But if so, she should be as tall as other hens right?

Australorps lay brown, so with white earlobes she couldn't be.

Size can differ in breeds. But she isn't a BA anyways.

I think she may be 1 of the ones you said... But, her egg is light brown, not white...

No need to be so rectifying- I did not see the white earlobes, sorry @Chickychickyxx, I agree though I think either a Black Andulusian or Black Minorca. I do not think she is a leghorn though as her legs look to be more yellow
