We got one of our hens, Iris, a few months ago and she is nearly full-grown. The guy who we got the chickens from said that she was a blue Plymouth Rock with a weird genetic mutation that made her black or something, but I feel like she is a different breed. Any suggestions welcome!

photos: top is possible egg from her, although I don’tknow if it’s hers or a Brahma. Second from top is her at a younger age. Third and fourth are Iris now.

Maybe Andalusian? They're commonly called "Blue Andalusian," but only about half of the chicks grow up actually blue. Some are black, and some are splash.

Andalusians are supposed to have white earlobes (I do see white on her earlobes in the recent pictures), and are supposed to lay white eggs (I notice you were unsure whether the egg in the photo is really hers or not.)
