What breed is she?

[Sarajane330]

She was in the section for Barred Rocks. Obviously she is not. Does anyone know what breed she is? She has a cooper color on her chest and a little by her comb. And her body is a beautiful black with shiny green in the sun.

Maybe Black Copper Marans, or maybe Black Sexlink.
Either can look about like that, and both lay brown eggs.

Is that her egg in the picture?

That is her egg. I though Marans had hair on their legs?

Feathers, and only the French strains.

I think she's a black sex link.

Feathers, that’s what I meant. Cause I have a a solid black chicken and she is the only with with feathers in her legs.

Some Marans have feathers on their legs, some do not.

Cochins always have feathered legs, and often have lots of feathers on their legs. Marans can have feathers on their legs, but usually have less feathers than Cochins do.

She doesn’t have a lot, the feathers just run down the outside of her leg.
