What breed is she?

[Wyandottes7]

I would say that she's a Black Sumatra.

 

[Michael OShay]

She is complete black. Even her feet beak eyes complete back

What I thought might be some copper feathering on the neck was just a trick of the eye looking into the shadow then. Given her solid black color, what appears to be black legs, and rather slender body type, I think she's likely a Black Sumatra. If the inside of her mouth is black, she could be an Ayam Cemani (again the pic is not close and clear), but I think that it is highly unlikely.

I think you guys are right. It's got to be a black Sumatra. But I will catch one in the morning and check its mouth. Thanks a lot BYC you guys rock!!

What type of comb does she have? She may be a hatchery quality Sumatra or a Sumatra mix.

 

[Kilo chickens]

She has no comb. She has feathers where the comb would be.

Black Sumatra based on the look of the bird just in that picture though. Lack of comb would be pretty telling, that it is infact a black Sumatra. They are lovely, the roosters have a very long interesting tail. Does the bird fly?

 

[Kilo chickens]

They don't fly. Besides if they get really scared then they take flight but always land on the yard

 

[BusyBearMama]

So they don't attempt to fly at all or they do they just don't fly away. The black Sumatra is commonly a very active bird.

 

[BusyBearMama]

They don't usually like being confined very well and often attempt to fly a bit more than most chickens. Do they lay at all, they eggs would be occasional and small and white I think... Are they fairly small birds compared to say a barred rock?

Sumatra. I have one bantam and two standard mixes (hatchery version of Thai gamefowl; they're just Sumatra mixes).
