What breed is this big chicken?

[ChristinaBee]

Any ideas on what she is? She’s very friendly, but significantly larger then any of my other 13 week olds.

It looks like a cochin of some sort to me.

Appears to be a chocolate Orpington pullet.

Clean legs.
It's a chocolate orp. She's gorgeous.

Now that I think about it, I agree--chocolate orpington. The shape just seemed kind of cochin-like.

Cochin and Orpington do have a similar body type. And it was hard to see her feet.

Beautiful bird regardless

Thanks everyone! I looked up pictures of chocolate orpingtons and they definitely have similar tail feathers.

I’m in need of your help again! I really like this chicken and want to get another. She came from Hoover’s so I sent them a picture to see what they though she was since they didn’t have chocolate orpingtons last year. They said either a Jersey giant or Austrolorp. Anyone have either of those breeds and could make a solid guess? Here’s some updated pictures.

Jersey Giants have yellow on the bottom of their feet. She's a lovely pullet.
